The GTBank Masters Cup initiative is in its 5th season, and since inception, it’s been discovering talents and nurturing dreams of many young people who aspire to be footballers.
While some of the students participating in the tournament do not have dreams of playing football professionally, some others cannot wait to unveil their amazing football skills to Nigeria and the world at large.
One of these aspiring footballers eagerly waiting to be part of the Nigeria national team is Chinasa Nneji of Queens College, Yaba.
She looks to earning a place in the Nigeria Women national team in few years time.
The highly talented young footballer participated in the just concluded GTBank Masters Cup, and was a striker for the Queens College team. She captained her side to win in the girls category of the GTBank Masters Cup.
After scoring a brace in the 4-0 demolition of Federal Science and Technology College in the final played on Friday, 17th June 2016, her school not only emerged winner, but a 4-time winner of the GTBank Masters Cup.
Aside from her heroics at the Onikan Stadium, she was also named tournament’s Most Valuable Player.
While expressing her delight with the victory, she revealed that her ambition is to get a national team invite in years to come.
“I’m very happy and very delighted. Infact, I’m speechless and I give all glory to God. Also, I want to thank my coach for the opportunity to show my skills and captain the school team.”
“Winning the trophy and the best player award is a double blessing for me and will definitely not forget this day in a hurry.
“My target now is to keep working harder and I believe that if I am playing regularly, I can be in the national team in three or four years’ time. That is my dream and I am working towards it.”
It’s great seeing dreams come to fulfillment through the platform of GTBank football tournaments, and we wish all aspiring footballers the very best!
