100 players for REXONA Street to Stamford Football Academy phase 1

100 players have been picked in the draws for the Rexona street to Stamford campaign which was flagged off a couple of months ago.

The draw which was held in Lagos on Tuesday saw over 29,000 entries from all over the country pruned to a hundred participants who are moving to the first phase of the competition which will begin in Lagos in a few days.

Adding colour to the draw was the presence of journalists, sports influencers and staff of regulatory bodies including; the Consumer Protection Council, who observed as the lucky players emerged via an automated draw/selection process.

The 100 lucky players which comprise Attackers, Midfielders, Defenders and Goalkeepers will kick-start the process in a screening exercise to be conducted by well-known coaches in Lagos where 44 players will emerge and distributed into 4 teams of 11 players.

Out of the 4 teams, another 22 will be selected and these players will undergo some training with both local and international coaches from which 3 lucky players will be selected to be part of an Africa XI team to train and play with the Chelsea Football stars at their home in Stamford Bridge, England.

Rexona’s Street to Stamford is one of Unilever Nigeria’s consumer engagement activity, using a universal shared passion for the beautiful game of football.
