Outstanding players selected from the Lagos draft will enjoy an unforgettable 10-day, all-expenses-paid trip to Spain, where they will experience life within the LaLiga and EA Sports ecosystem, train in top-class facilities, and gain first-hand exposure to European football culture.
As Lagos prepares to host one of the most exciting youth football events of the year, Victory Queens FA will be eager to leave a lasting impression and demonstrate their commitment to excellence on and off the pitch.
