Organisers of the U-13 fotball tournament at the 6th National School Sports Festival holding in Ilorin, the Kwara State from November 20 said the winner will represent Nigeria at the Milo African Championship scheduled for Nairobi, Kenya next year.

Brand Manager, Milo, Funmi Osineye, who disclosed this yesterday at the competition's logo-unveiling ceremony in Lagos said Nestle was committed to grassroots sports development.

"We believe in the abundance of sports talents in Nigeria and have worked assiduously to fire up these talents to greater heights," she said.

On Nestle's relationship with the Nigeria School Sports Federation (NSSF), Osineye said: "We have enjoyed strong partnership over the past 15 years on the various Milo sports engagement platforms, amongst which are the Milo Secondary School Basketball Championship, Milo Football Clinic and the National School Sports Festival.

"Giving these children international exposure on a continental platform would boost their confidence and determination to make them future champions."
