Akanji Kayode Agboola, Chairman of Nationwide League One team Magic Stars says the NVA/NLO will be the window for opportunities to come for his club.

London-based NVA Sports & Entertainment Group (NVA SEG) facilitated the business tour for the nation’s third-tier domestic league and the five club chairmen.

According to Agboola, who’s among the five club bosses after the business meeting with NVA SEG on Friday in London: “The key essence of the UK tour is for core football business, possible affiliation with clubs here and exposing our talented players to the world.

” The meeting with NVA SEG is far-reaching and a good expose for me and my other colleagues.”

“Against the odds; we had a fantastic season, not minding that we were making our debut in the NLO.

“For a new team that was founded less than a year and made up of young talents and rookies, who may never have the chance to play football at a competitive level, to now finish second on the log is a plus for the lads.”

On the next plan for Magic Stars if he intends to relocate his team out of Lagos.

“There is no plan to relocate the team away from Ajao Estate, rather take the forward and the future will decide what we’ll do next.”

Agboola hinted that the club is surely into the football business but the motive is for the club to provide the needed platform and make the best out of the youths.

“The goal is to take the youths out of the streets and shun social vices so that they can have a better life for themselves.

“I discovered that there are a lot of football talents in the nooks and crannies of the country, and many of such talents are lacking the platform to showcase themselves in the long run and have a career.”

He further informed that plans are on for the hosting of the second edition of the Evolution Cup, a pre-season tourney for Nationwide League One teams that was hosted at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne.

“The venue and month for hosting the next Evolution Cup are not known but plans are in the pipeline to stage another one.”
