Share

PEPSI Football Academy's Consultant, Iain Nelson has expressed confidence that new soccer talents will emerge from all the teams participating at the on going Pepsi 8-nation International Tournament.

The championship entered day five on Thursday with some Pepsi Football Academy teams filing out against their respective opponents in what were generally considered explosive fixtures.

Speaking after the clash of the two West Coast rivals, LAFAD Academy of Cote d'Ivoire and Dragon International of  Benin Republic  which ended 2-1 in favour of the former, Nelson said that he   was fulfilled watching West African youth footballers display their talents on the field of play.

'' It is gratifying to note that new football talents will eventually be discovered from all the countries participating because the standard of play has been very high. Pepsi as a brand draws a lot of fulfilment from this and even the players themselves will forever be happy for having the opportunity to use this platform to showcase their talents,'' Nelson said.

He stated that the tournament is also an avenue for the PFA students to hone their skills and have the necessary exposure to become well-bred footballers of international repute.
