In a statement from the Media Officer of the tournament, Patrick Ndubuisi on Wednesday, the Director General of the Prosperity Cup, Mr Ono Akpe said the scouts have disclosed that ten out of the twenty players, will soon be invited officially and will be leaving the country for trials.

“We are already working on inviting the scouts for a second time, and that will be towards the end of the competition, and I believe that more players will discovered, because we intend to present more selected players, than what we brought in this phase.

“Once again I wish to thank His Excellency, Senator Douye Diri, for this great support to this competition. This about the most successful so far because of what we are achieving.
