The Kebbi government says it has partnered Portuguese agency Break Management Agency to establish a Football Academy (FA) to scout for local talents in the state.
Chairman of the FA, Abubakar Chika-Ladan, disclosed this during a stakeholders’ meeting on sports held in Birnin Kebbi on Monday.
He said the Portuguese agency that was invited was “the same agency that discovered Cristiano Ronaldo and made him a popular footballer across the world.”

The representative of Break Management Agency, Fedro Batista, said the agency would give technical and other support towards the establishment of the academy.
