exposed them to international scouts and empower the youth.
The show is
a road map to the opportunities to become professional footballers and it’s a
concept of Osaslo Media.
According to
the organizers, the show will identify and scouts for talents from different
regions across Nigeria where trials will be conducted and the “Last Team
Standing” from each state would then be eligible to attend the final “TRAINING
CAMP” in Lagos where they will be all housed for 30 days doing numerous
activities related to football, team building, socials, mental health etc.
The trails and
screening exercise, which will be conducted in 12 zones, will commence in June
for four weeks.

will be knocked out every week to get the LAST TEAM STANDING (Champion).
Similarly, outside
the incentive of some of the players getting recruited by international scouts,
the last team standing will win a cash prize of N12m and a chance to go on a
training tour of soccer academies in Spain.
Interested
teams/players are to visit the website www.lastteamstanding.africa to register
their players as registration ends on May 31st, 2023.
The event is
said to run on TV stations across the country, Rootz Sports channel and other
international TV platforms.
Speaking about the show, Idah stated that the programme is an
avenue to discover new talents for the national teams.
“If you can play football, we will find you and bring the
best out of you. It is a show where we will discover new players for Nigeria
that everyone would be proud of,” Idah said.
