A number of African football legends, including Cameroon icon, Roger Milla, Abedi Ayew Pele and Anthony Yeboah of Ghana among others have agreed to participate in two novelty matches involving African and Nigerian legends.
The two-legged event which is being put together by a non-governmental organisation, Next 2 None will see the first match played in Ghana while the second match has been slated for Lagos in December, this year.
Event managers and publicists, Fel-Charles and Company disclosed to reporters that Cameroon idol, Roger Milla confirmed early this month at a press conference in Accra Ghana that he would honour both legs of the encounter which the NGO is putting together to help create awareness in the fight against injustice and child trafficking in Nigeria and sub-Sahara Africa.
“The founder of the NGO Barrister Sam Obuh has put everything in place to ensure all invited ex-internationals take part in the novelty matches,” an official of the marketing outfit said.
“We expect the likes of Abedi Pele, Tony Yeboah, Roger Milla and from Nigeria we have Christian Chukwu, Austin Jay Jay Okocha, Segun Odegbami, among others.
