All is now set for the start of the latest five a- side football tournament in Nigeria, called Neymar Jr’s Five.
Coming to the Africa’s most populous football loving nation for the first time, Neymar Jr’s Five is sure to attract the country’s most talented street footballers.
The 2017 Nigeria qualification rounds will be held across 10 Locations, with two days of group stage qualifications before a final knock-out round for the top scoring teams.
Games are quick, fast paced, and each team will get to play at least twice in the group stages.
Nigeria’s National Champions will be flown out to play in the world final in July in Brazil, all-expense paid.
