FC Mavlon is now the rave of the moment in Europe after beating another Bulgarian club, FC Levski-Karlovo 3-0 on Saturday evening, www.totorinews.com reports.

The fans at the Evima football field, Bansko in Bulgaria were treated to a robust, fluid football by FC Mavlon, as they dismantled Levski-Karlovo with goals from Israel Ayuma, Ikechukwu Onwugamba and Charles Agada.

Just as it happened in their game against FC Pirin-Razlog yesterday, all the goals also came in the second half of play.

The Referee awarded a penalty to FC Mavlon after Agada was hacked down by the goalkeeper. Ayuma, who stepped out to take the penalty, sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to make it goal number one for the Nigerian side.

Few minutes later, a through pass from the half of Mavlon connected Onwugamba and the pacy forward speedily ran with the ball, made a decoy as if he wanted to cross to his fellow attackers, but rather, he hit a power drive into the net. It was not two goals advantage to the team in the third – tier league in Nigeria.

Agada finally nailed the coffin of FC Levski-Karlovo when he hit a low shot into the net for the third goal.

As it stands now at the on – going training tour of Europe by FC Mavlon, the team have played five friendly games against top clubs in Bulgaria and one from North Macedonia.

The team tutored by Muyiwa Showole won two games, lost two and drew one.

The friendly encounter continues on Sunday when the team files out against CSKA Sofia at the same football arena.

The Director General of the National Sports Commission Hon. Bukola Olopade, has stated the commitment of the leadership of the Commission to Training and Retraining of staff for scientific productivity of Nigerian Sports.

The DG stated this when he was a surprised guest at the meeting of the newly appointed Federation Secretaries with the Director of the Federation of Elite Athletes Department (FEAD), Olumide Bamiduro.

” One of the things that myself and the Chairman, Mallam Shehu Dikko, discovered was lacking in the Commission when we were appointed is training and restraining of staff. This is why we have challenged the various Directors to go to their various departments to start looking for quality brains that we can give both local and international training and restraining to”.

” The Sports ecosystem that we are in is very dynamic and this is why alot of training and retraining will happen this year to complement the productivity and efficiency of the Commission”.

The DG also charged the Federation Secretaries to be up and doing and align themselves with the vision and mandate of the Commission especially with the Renewed Hope Initiative for Nigeria Sports Economy ( RHINSE ) campaign.

” As Federation Secretaries that you all are , we are about to make history together in so many ways. For the Chairman, Mallam Shehu Dikko and myself, our determination is to ensure that you all are given the impetus to drive the federations as Independently as you can”.

” I also want to appeal to you all that the chief operating officers,COO, that we have introduced are not here to disturb you or usurp your job. They are here to support you and I have no doubt that the symbiotic relationship that you can establish with them will only galvanize the history making approach we all have for the Commission”.

The Director of Federation of Elite Athletes Development (FEAD) , Olumide Bamiduro however thanked the DG for the surprise visit , stating that his visit further re-echoes the ongoing reforms and the commitment of the current leadership of the Sports Commission to achieve the Sporting mandate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,GCFR.
