They work with several clubs, most especially in Denmark, Sweden and in some parts of European countries and that is why they feel they need to have an extension in Africa. As we know they are not really strong in Nigeria”.
“Our club is one of the lucky clubs in Nigeria that will enjoy this great benefits. It is a way of giving back to football development in Africa and encouraging top talent never to give up on their dreams and that is why they see this as their goals and vision which aligns with our own goals and purpose as well that is why the two teams are coming together”.
“It’s not something that just happened over night there have been discussion upon discussion for about eight months now and it something that should have happened last season but to one reason or the other we could not activate it so we decided to activate it now and as you can see it has started yelding profit, we hope to make it a long time collaboration and we hope to also expand it so they’re coming on-board in the area of equipment but they can still do more we hope that one day we can have Select Store in Nigeria”, He said.
