Betting firm, Odibet will on Friday host Swedish scouts as it seeks to further intensify grassroots soccer in the country.
The campaign will on Friday see the European football agents pitch tent at the Camp Toyoyo Stadium in Eastlands, Nairobi, during the 'A Totos', games in pursuit of young talents.
According to Jacob 'Ghost' Mulee, the event's organizer and former Harambee Stars head coach, the event will give young talents the much-needed international exposure.
He expressed confidence that many players will be discovered during the games, by the very same scouts who identified and signed the likes of Stars Captain Victor Wanyama.
"We still believe that we have much more local talents to showcase in this soccer tournament. We hope that through this soccer tournament we will encourage our youth to be more productive in their lives and perhaps venture into football ad a fulltime career," said Mulee.
Odibet Managing Director, Aggrey Sayi echoed the remarks, adding that the firm is committed to giving Kenyans more than just a betting platform.
"Odibets is always on the lookout for mutually beneficial partnerships that will leave a lasting impact on our communities even as we focus on giving Kenyans an ample gaming experience," he said.
The teams set to participate are Kariobangi Sharks U20, Koth Biro, Acacoro U20, Kris's Darlin All stars, Royal Wanyama All Stars, Liberty U20, Eastleigh Youth and Chapa Dimba All Stars.
The games will run from 9 am to 5 pm.
