Katsina United FC invite 120 indigenous players for screening
The Katsina United FC management has invited 120 indigenous players across 34 local government areas of Katsina for a talent hunt and screening.
Club’s spokesman Nasir Gide disclosed this in a statement. According to him, the screening will be held between September 28 and October 6 at Muhammadu Dikko Stadium Katsina.
The invited players are expected to arrive at the venue by 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
“The exercise is meant to revamp the team and also to give more chances and playing time to the home-based players,” said the statement.
The club’s director of football development, Saleh Yusuf, said the players’ slot depended on active football teams in the local government areas.
“Katsina local government, being the centre, carried 20 slots with some of the players from the Junior Katsina United FC. The director stated that feeding and accommodations will be provided to all the invited players,” the club explained.
It added, “The invited players are therefore urged to exhibit sportsmanship and discipline during the screening and assured that fairness and just consideration will be done to whoever deserves to be registered with the club.”
The club thanked Bishir Gambo-Saulawa, the sports commissioner, for giving the state home-based players a chance to exhibit their talents.
