The programme dubbed Engr. Noah Dallaji Legacy Project will see talents between ages 16 and 18 years who would be discovered and mentored by big names in Africa’s soccer history.
The Chairman of the foundation, Engr. Noah Dallaji said, “It is important to develop the natural talent of youths in order to maximize opportunities for a purposeful life,”
“Every man has something in him that can be activated and be useful in life. So you must try and discover why you came into this world and begin to be useful not only to ourselves but for the greater good of society,” he added.
PSquare will lead other top musicians to perform at the talent showcase.
Delayed broadcast of the Noah Dallaji Legacy Project Football Talent Hunt will be on Supersport and other selected television channels on terrestrial and satellite.
