Expdonaloaded Sports News; Serahana Sports hails Nwakali

INTERNATIONAL youth soccer facilitating outfit, Serahana Sports Management has given a part on the back to Golden Eaglets captain, Kelechi Nwakali who on Sunday led the team to clinch Nigeria’s fifth FIFA U-17 World Cup title.

Serahana Sports expressed delight over the fact that Nwakali’s rise to stardom started two years back at the IberCup in Estoril, Portugal where he (Nwakali) was the captain of the Emmanuel Amuneke Academy that won the international youth tournament.
Serahana’s spokesman, Godson Abba Ekadi said his outfit was happy Nwakali is a product of its event. “Serahana Sports is the official Africa partner of the organizers of the IberCup and in 2013, we packaged the participation of Emmanuel Amuneke Soccer Academy in the tournament. Today, we are happy that Nwakali who was the captain of the Amuneke Academy that won the IberCup in 2013 has gone ahead to lead Nigeria to a historic victory in Chile. This is one of the dividends of participating in such international youth soccer tourna­ments,” Godson Ekadi said.
Ekadi said another product of the IberCup 2013, Bene­dict Chepeshi, had also broken into the senior Zambian national team and was in action for Chipolopolo when Zambia played Botswana in a recent CHAN 2016 quali­fier. He was equally full of praise for the Eaglets handler, Amuneke, for building a solid side that succeeded in defending the FIFA U-17 World Cup.
“Amuneke has shown that he is a good tactician and we will keep working closely with him,” Godson said.
