“Basically, our aim is to select the best that will make us proud in the upcoming world players search (FIDO 2022) in Switzerland.

According to him, they are interested in taking 24 players to the FIDO event that will come up May this year in Switzerland.

“We selected Kano to host the search because of youths that are keenly interested in football in the State and its strategic position to receive candidates from other States of the federation.

“The age range of the player must be within 17 – 21 years, it’s absolutely free from the search, down to the traveling to Switzerland for the FIDO event. We have received a number of calls from Lagos, Delta, Abuja, Kaduna etc to confirm participation,” he added.
