Davido launches football talent hunt
In collaboration with Abu Salami Media and 1XBet, Nigerian music icon David Adeleke, also known by his stage name Davido, has unveiled a model football talent search program.
The “Davido Dream Football Show” talent search includes a curriculum that is intended to help young athletes who are dedicated to competing at the highest levels hone their fundamental technical abilities and tactical awareness.
DDFS Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Abu Salami stated during a media presentation in Lagos on Tuesday that the program’s goal is to empower and support young male football talents between the ages of 18 and 22 in Nigeria and throughout Africa.
Salami said; “The Davido Dream Football Show will enable young football talents to realise their dreams of becoming stars in future.”
According to the CEO, the reality TV show would run for 30 weeks with one episode to be shown every week.
“First, we will organise screening of those who will register. Once they are screened, we will organise a series of trials. From that exercise, the best among them will be selected for camping for the final show,” he added.*
On his part, Davido who’s the DDFS president, said the reality talent show will birth opportunities for young people across Nigeria and the African continent.
He said; “We all know impact is essential and a show like this will not only engage the minds of the youths, it will birth meaningful changes and opportunities for youths across Nigeria and Africa as a whole. I believe it’ll also set the pace for impact-driven initiative in grassroots football in Africa.”
According to organisers, the selection process for talents to join the show would be based on skill, attitude and commitment through scheduled screenings across Nigeria and camping geared towards training selected talents for trials with partner clubs in Europe.
