Head of Operations at Green Lock FC/Academy, Omowunmi Blessing Awe, described the initiative as a “perfect blend” of sports and education, assuring parents that the welfare and safety of players remain a top priority.

“We are ready to welcome players into a secure environment where they can grow as footballers and as students. Our goal is to prepare them for success in both fields,” she said.

The Academy forms part of Green Lock FC’s strategy to provide Nigerian youths with structured pathways into professional football while equipping them with the education needed for broader life opportunities.
