Volleyball: Oluyole Spikers can pull a surprise says Aboderin
The Assistant coach of Oluyole Spikers of Oyo state, Ayokunnu Aboderin says his young side can pull up surprises against stronger teams at the second phase of the 2021 National Division 1 league in Abuja.
Oluyole Spikers of Oyo will play Wikki Spikers of Bauchi in their first match at the indoor hall of Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja on Saturday.
Aboderin said his team will ensure they win all their matches in the second phase of the division 1 league.
He said, “Do not underrate my team because we are here to surprise all the participating teams. During the first phase of the league played in Kaduna state, Oluyole Spikers were not impressive and this led to the team sitting on the bottom of the table.
The team returned back to Ibadan after the disastrous outing and prepared harder for the second phase; we have injected two players in order to match up with other teams participating in the league.”
“I want to assure you that you will all see a different Oluyole Spikers. Our hope is to win all our matches in the second phase and with that we will be among the first four teams”, he added.
Meanwhile, the Technical Representative of the Nigeria Volleyball Federation, Martin Melandi told coaches during the technical meeting that FIVB rules and guidelines will be applied during the second phase of the 2021 National Division 1 league.

From Streets to Stardom: Unique Futbol Academy Scouting Program Inspires Ibadan’s Young Footballers
Ibadan is buzzing with excitement as the Unique Football Academy Scouting Program kicks off, bringing together top European football clubs and talented young Nigerian players.
The four-day program, which commenced on Monday, features a delegation of four directors from prominent European teams, including two from Kosovo and one from India, led by renowned football agent Diego Martins from Portugal.
The scouting program aims to identify and select outstanding players who will be given opportunities to showcase their skills in Europe.
Successful players will be offered the chance to take their careers to the next level, with the organizers assuring them of opportunities abroad.
According to the Director of the program and founder of Unique Football Academy, Mr. Jelil Oladimeji, this is not the first time the academy has organized such an event.
“This is the 4th edition, and we are proud of the progress and impact we have made so far in terms of exposing our raw talent to the European market,” he said.
The program has already proven successful, with several players from previous editions going on to excel in European leagues. Some notable examples include Haruna Saleh with PAOK in Greece and Praisegod Emersons in Slovakia.
As the program continues, clubs are gearing up to exhibit their talents, and the future looks bright for Nigeria’s young football stars.
