Football: G- Innovation boss harps on grassroots – Blueprint
President of G- Innovation football club, Chigozie Edwin Nwagwu, has described grassroots football as the bedrock of any country’s football development.
In a chat with journalists in Lagos, he said that in
line with name of his club, he has lined up several innovative programmes aimed
at further developing grassroots football in the country.
He lamented the dearth of properly organized and well-structured
football clubs in the country.
According to
him, to achieve the desired standard in football development, football clubs
should be business and profit oriented.
He said G- Innovation football club which was
founded in 2014, has an enviable record of 30 wins, four draws and two losses
across competitive and friendly games played in the 2019/2020 season.
” We have plans to dominate Nigerian football,
beginning from Lagos, which is our base. In line with our name, we are bringing
hitherto unknown innovations and creativity to change the narratives as it
concerns grassroots football in Nigeria,” he said.
