President of Right2Win Academy Engineer Kelechi Nnorom Orji appreciated everyone who contributed to the success of the event and confirmed that sustainability has been imbibed into the Tournament.

He said : "I give kudos to everyone who contributed to the success of the event including those who worked behind the scene,   I came up with this idea In order to give opportunities to the talents we have in the country particularly for them to have a knowledge of what playing alongside the Europeans looks like".

"They must have learnt one or two things which will prepare them for the future when they eventually get to sign professional deals abroad".


"Special thanks to all the participating players clubs/academies, it was a memorable event."
