Like Jordan said, they are given out 9 cameras to clubs in Nigeria Hephziba Sport Club Lagos, Giant Brilla and Beyond Limit we are also giving to FC One Rocket and Vandrezer in Uyo, they are here just to help expose Nigeria talented players to European Market to help analyse the players performance.
Well looking at Beyond Limit, they are one of the best academy in Africa, you can’t mention 5 clubs in Africa without mentioning them with infrastructure they have on ground they are among the best and I am happy to hear that almost 3 players have moved from the club through Eyeball. Ismail said.
Picking the 9 clubs was never easy Idowu explained the challenges he encountered, “frankly speaking the 9 clubs are not the best club apart from Beyond Limit, because most clubs I contacted doubted the intention that how can you give us camera for free with a market value of over 1000€ tripod and subscriptions free but thank God for his grace and good integrity that 9 clubs eventually responded 8 clubs and one league Abuja Elite League responded they were offered the contract and they signed a contract with Eyeball it was not that easy a lot of clubs doubted the offers” He explained.
