The Glo Soccer Academy ‘Dream Team’
which arrived in the city of Manchester, U.K last Thursday commenced training
immediately at the Manchester United training schools in Carrington.
The training session kickedoff with
a Manchester United FC workshop entitled “The training ground” at the Gladstone
conference room of Bolton Holiday Inn.
The workshop focused on ideals and
values of Manchester United Football Club and what drives the team to achieve
results.
The team later had a detailed
training session at the Manchester United training school in the evening for
over three hours with the activity focusing on “Dominating the 1 versus 1 in
the game and dribbling challenge”.
The team was also taken through the
rules of challenge, free kicks as well as conditioning on the field of play.
Training activities continued at the
Swift Academy outside Manchester as the team continued to learn the rudiments
of modern football.
The Swift Academy is the old
training school of Manchester United Football Club before Carrington was built.
The Glo Dream Team is made up of 16
players; including ten Nigerians, four Ghanaians and two Beninese that emerged
at the end of the academy in February.
The 16 finalists have been awarded
G-Bam Scholarship of N750,000 and N1 million Naira each for 15 of them, while
the Most Valuable Player will receive N5 million.
The ongoing training at the
prestigious Manchester United training schools is one of the prizes won by
finalists in the maiden edition of the West African Television reality show.
The Glo Soccer Academy was organised
to discover and train talented young footballers across West Africa and it was
conceived to provide a once-in-a lifetime opportunity for talented footballers
to kick-start their career in professional football.
