Over the years, it has developed and grown into one of the most prestigious football academies in Nigeria.
Today, the academy comprises over 3,000 registered students aged between 6–18 years and operates throughout the year from 14 separate training centres and 54 coaches across Nigeria.[2] Footballers who started their careers at the academy include Mikel John Obi, Sunday Mba, Dominic Chatto, Echiabhi Okodugha, Joseph Akpala, Elderson Echiéjilé, Soga Sambo and Yinka Adedeji.[3]
In 2006, the academy set up a scholarship scheme. As of now, 13 players were awarded scholarships to England.[4]
