And want to urge other regions to emulate WNFF. This is in line with what FIFA refers to as grassroots development. Sepp Blatter emphasised the need for Football to go together with education. The players in the competition i understand are still in school.
“They also recognised and gave Awards to legends and adminstrators who had contributed immensely to development of the game. I am honoured to be part of the awardees.” He concluded
