The CEO of Premium Sports Management, Nkechi Obi added that the international friendly between KFA and Royal Antwerp FC will serve as an opportunity for KFA to test their skills.

"They are playing on home turf in front of their number one fan, Governor Bukola Saraki. The entire country will be behind them and international scouts will watch them so the opportunity beckons the boys to show the stuff they are made of. Above all, the "Special One", Mourinho will provide the requisite verve and charisma to spur them on," she said.
