Nike Football kicked off ‘The Chance’ - the search for young talented footballers who will get an opportunity to train at the Nike Academy.
‘The Chance’ was launched in South Africa by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in June, while he was here for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The search travels to various regions in the country; the first stop was the Nike built Football Training Centre, Soweto. A top-class facility geared towards arming young footballers with skills on and off the field.
Youngsters have to impress former Bafana Bafana midfielder Eric Tinkler, who is the chief scout for the project, while other legends such as Tebogo Moloi and Shaun Bartlett will also lend a hand to spot talent at different locations.
