Handler of the current NPFL U-17 Youth league All-star team, coach Ken Chukwu has reiterated that the main focus of all concerned is to build a team that would greatly represent the NPFL as they keep preparing for their upcoming tour of Spain.

He made this known to press men after the team’s 2-0 victory over HB Football Academy in their third tune up game yesterday, adding that winning is good, but the priority is to build a team that would represent the NPFL and the country at large.

“Winning is good, but for the purpose of this project we’re focused on building a team and I’m glad that the boys are getting the rhythm, said coach Chukwu, who now doubles as the technical assistant at Rivers United FC.

“We came in eight days ago and we’ve been working so hard because the process of building is continuous.”

Goals from Oscar Ozonwafor and Nwosu Chinedu saw the NPFL youth side beating one of the foremost Abuja based academies, and it was gathered from the handler that more players scouted from the Youth League are still being expected in camp in order to ensure that only the best of the best is selected for the said tour.

“We presently have 21 players in camp and we’re expecting more players that were selected during the Youth League, he said.

“The idea is to make sure that only the very best among the best is selected to represent the NPFL and the country at large, concluded coach Chukwu.”
