The Ignite Soccer Stars program was inspired by a profound vision and a strong desire to contribute to Nigeria’s transformative journey. The journey began in 2018, during the final stages of my MBA studies, when I had the unique opportunity to explore the sports industry in Spain as part of a case study for class discussions. As I delved into the topic, I could sense a stirring within me, and then, I heard God speak clearly; “You can do this in Nigeria.” This moment marked a pivotal turning point, where the vision for Ignite Soccer Stars began to take shape. I started to ask myself critical questions about how we could replicate the success of grassroots sports development in Spain within the Nigerian context. This vision led to the birth of the Ignite Soccer Stars concept, which aims to identify, nurture, and elevate individual grassroots soccer talent in Nigeria using a technology platform.
