The nationwide, GFF-NAMILCO Thunderbolt Flour Power Intra-Association U-17 Tournament, is a five (5)-year partnership between the GFF and the National Milling Company and is a key component of the Executive Committee’s strategic objective in its youth development thrust, a press release from the GFF stated.
This new model emphasizes three essential goals which are to streamline sponsorship agreements beyond executive cycles, ensure that consistent youth football at all levels are played in each association throughout the year and enable the establishment of Academy Training Centers (ATC) in each association that will facilitate growth and development of Elite Coaches and Elite Players, the release added.
