Yemi Idowu, the chairman of Nath Boys FC, has noted that one of the main barriers to the growth of grassroots football in Nigeria is the absence of reforms and structures. Idowu made this statement in light of the nation’s expanding football academies, recognizing their work in identifying and developing new potential. However, he pointed out that the general development of Nigerian football has been hampered by the lack of an adequate support network for coaches and aspiring players at the grassroots levelThat’s progress, and I’m pleased with the work that academies are doing. However, if we had a suitable youth and junior framework in place, I would be happier. It’s a little jumbled right now,” he remarked.
