Former super Falcon’s player and Assistant Coach of the Super Falcons, Maureen Madu on Tuesday 2nd March 2021, stated that she will be needing about N7.8 million to make sure the second edition of her biannual female football training holds.
The project, Maureen Madu Football Kiddies camp, slated to hold at Washington Grammar school, Onitsha
between 2nd to 9th April, 2021, is targetted at discovering and grooming about 300 females from grassroot to international soccer champions.
Madu, who disclosed this during her Appreciation visit to the Anambra State chapter’s of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), noted that girls aged 10 to 18 were qualified to participate in the programme by picking forms at designated areas in the state.
According to her, the financial assistance would help to offset some bills for the seven days programme which include football kits comprising footballs, bags and jersey and medical care, as well as feeding for the kids.
She emphasised that successful participants from the programme would be awarded scholarship to study any course of their choice at a United States based university as well as playing abroad.
On the first edition held in December last year, Madu said it was succesful, adding that she was in touch with the trainees for greater opportunities.
She also mentioned that a friend, Helen Ugbo donated a plot of land to the camp for building of hostels.
Chairman of SWAN, Tony Oji, assured the international soccer star of the association’s continuous support to achieve its aims and objectives for talented African females .
