Football: Real Madrid Academy in PH excites Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has expressed happiness that the Real Madrid Football Academy has become a reality, saying that major international football stars would be groomed at the facility.

Addressing journalists, Gov Wike who commissioned the facility last week Saturady said that all the facilities were in place for the successful take off of the Academy.

“When we promised that we will set up a Real Madrid Football Academy that will help groom international stars in the area of football, so many people played politics and said that it was fake.

“We are happy that it has come to fruition. We have sent people to Madrid and they have been trained as instructors and coaches. We also sent the players of Banham Model Primary School, winners of Channels Television Kids Cup to Madrid for training. They will form the first set of students “, he said.

The Governor said the development of the Real Madrid Football Academy is a confirmation that his Administration is serious with keeping promises made to Rivers people.

He said Nigerians would regularly watch live on television the excellent facility and the football that goes with it.
