Four promising young footballers from Awoyaya and neighbouring communities in Ibeju-Lekki are set to take a major step in their sporting journey after earning qualification spots for the 2026 edition of the renowned Greensprings Football Camp.

The talented youngsters emerged among the top performers during a rigorous scouting and screening exercise organised by the Greensprings Football Academy, where aspiring players from across Lagos competed for a chance to showcase their abilities on a bigger stage.

Coaches and talent scouts reportedly identified the players for their impressive technical skills, tactical intelligence, discipline and overall performance throughout the selection sessions, securing them places in one of the state’s leading youth football development programmes.

Organised by Greensprings School, the annual football camp has become a recognised platform for nurturing grassroots talents through professional coaching, mentorship and exposure to modern football training methods.

Officials said the programme is focused not only on developing football abilities but also on building character, teamwork and leadership qualities among participants, helping prepare them for future opportunities in sports and life.

The achievement has sparked excitement within Awoyaya and the wider Ibeju-Lekki community, with residents and parents celebrating the youngsters as emerging symbols of the area’s growing reputation for producing talented athletes.

At the 2026 camp, the selected players are expected to undergo intensive drills, fitness training and mentorship sessions while interacting with experienced coaches and football development experts.

Sports enthusiasts say the success of the four youngsters reflects the increasing impact of grassroots football initiatives in Lagos, providing young Nigerians with valuable pathways to develop their talents and pursue professional careers in the game.
