She said after going through the stages of recruitment, a total of 40 players will be selected into an Academy where the players will be housed and monitored by top local and foreign coaches with scouts occasionally trooping in to evaluate the players.
At the end of the camp the best five will be selected and honoured with the ultimate walking home with a cash prize of GHC 10,000 with an all-expense paid trials at a club outside Ghana. The second will earn GHC 7,000, third will get GHC 5,000 with fourth and fifth best players handed GHC 2,000 and an all-expense paid trip to outside the country for trials.
Interested footballers are to text *920*12# across all networks to begin the process of registration.
