All Things Education Consultants UK has launched its first under-17 secondary school football tournament at Greensprings School in Lekki, bringing together eight elite private institutions from Lagos. The competition combined talent identification with educational outreach as organizers sought to connect African students with academic and athletic opportunities in Britain.

Johnson Agogo, representing the consultancy, explained that the program prioritizes education while using sports to identify promising students for potential international pathways. Sports coordinator Joseph Duruihuoma noted that scouts monitored standout performers during matches, with prizes including trophies and medals for participants.

Former national swimmer Wemimo Raje praised the initiative for linking grassroots development with scholarship possibilities, while 14-year-old competitor Eli Nwachukwu from British International School expressed hope that the tournament could lead to professional opportunities. Organizers plan to expand future editions with additional schools, sponsors, and UK-based academy partnerships.
