Anambra State Government has announced its readiness to commence the recruitment process for a state team that would be baptized as Solution Football Club.

Chairman of Anambra State Football Association, Chikelue Iloenyosi (a.k.a the General) disclosed this on Tuesday.

He said the recruitment of players for its debut in the Nigeria National League for the 2023/2024 season would commence on Wednesday, September 6, with an open screening.

Recall that the Chairman had earlier in August hinted Sports journalists in the state that he had received Executive approval from the state government to birth a state-owned and sponsored football team.

He said: The week-long screening exercise will hold from Wednesday, 6th to 13th September, 2023 at the Awka City Stadium, Awka, Anambra State by 7am each day. The exercise is absolutely free of charge.

The screening exercise is free and conforms with all football guidelines geared towards recruiting young, talented and experienced footballers of Anambra extraction and beyond for our dear State Professional Football Club, Solution FC.

It is however not yet clear who the officials of the Solution FC are or the coach team, but information has it that notable coaches have been interviewed and shortlisted with the successful one invited to Government House, Awka, on Tuesday apparently for negotiation and official appointment formalities.

It was also scooped that a camp site has already been acquired for the Solution FC players.
