High-flying Lagos-based Buruj Sports Academy have been drawn into Group D2 of the West Africa Football tournament otherwise known as the Frank Peters Cup 2016.
The tournament, which holds in Ijebu-Ode from 6th to 20th of November, has 64 football academies drawn from the West African sub-region in attendance and will have scouts from leading European leagues in attendance to monitor promising players.
The winner of the tourney is expected to represent the sub-region at the Durban U-19 Cup in South Africa as well as go home with a mouth-watering N1.5m in cash prize.
In order to ensure quality participation at the competition, Buruj Academy will step up preparation with a friendly game on Thursday morning against Young Strikers FC at the Agege Stadium by 8am.
It will be recalled that Buruj FC engaged Premier League newcomers Remo Stars of Sagamu in a friendly game last week Wednesday where star player Onyekachi Nwaiwu was spotted and penciled down for a possible move to Europe.
