Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Austin Eguavoen, and former Super Eagles Captain, Daniel Amokachi, have commended sports betting company, 1XBET, for giving opportunities to Nigerian youths to groom their talents.
Speaking at the unveiling of the 1BET Football Tournament trophy and draw ceremony at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Lagos yesterday, both ex-internationals said they didn’t have the opportunity provided by the sports betting company, growing up.
Fondly called ‘Da Bull’ during his national team days, Amokachi also recalled how in 1996, football brought South Africans together despite all that they went through in the dark days of apartheid. Chairman of 1XBET, Dr Femi Babalola, while describing the tournament as one of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibilities, pledged to make it a national event in subsequent editions.
