NFF To Partner Rivers Govt. On Real Madrid Football Academy   –Pinnick

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is to partner the Rivers state government for the camping of Nigeria youth teams at the Real Madrid Academy based in Port Harcourt.

NFF’s President, Amaju Pinnick stated this shortly after being taken around the facility by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Real Madrid Academy, Chris Green in the company of Rivers Commissioner for Sports, Boma Iyaye, and Permanent Secretary, Sir Honour Sirawoo

According to Pinnick, the facilities at the academy was top notch and comparable to any of the best football academies across the world

Pinnick said: “This is incredibly impressive. I was here two years ago when the foundation was being laid and when you lay the foundation stone, you become skeptical about the reality but this is beyond our comprehension.

“I have seen academies in other parts of the world; as the president of NFF, I have been opportuned to go round the world, what I have seen here is super, super impressive. The beauty of the academy is that it has world-class facilities, the hostel, the labs, the gym, the dining; the finishing is superb.

“On behalf of NFF, we want to commend the Rivers State Government led by Governor Wike. When he said two years ago he was going to complete this in record time, there were some doubting Thomases, but I am here to say we have seen it. We will be coming here in the next few months with very tall football personalities to commission this project.”

Pinnick stressed further that the NFF would soon be knocking on the door of Rivers State government for the use of the facility to camp junior national teams.

“The NFF will partner Rivers State government in many ways, you know, we have our youth teams, we can also get them to come and camp here; because we have a relationship, it will cost us little or nothing, the camp is world-class, when you hear players go camping, it’s not a tent, it’s a hotel and this one is beyond the hotel, this one is purpose-built for football, quite really impressive.

“I came here with Fanny Amun and you know his technical prowess. We will give Rivers State government all the necessary certification, this is to support youth development programme, because they are the future of the country, we need to take them off the streets, off the creeks,” he stated.

Rivers Commissioner for Sports, Boma Iyaye, while commending the NFF president for coming to see the facility, assured that the state would be willing to have junior national teams camp at the facility.

According to Iyaye, “We are very interested, Rivers state will always partner the NFF, and we have always partnered at various levels because we have a loving governor, someone who believes that the youth are the future of the country.”
