Silversports Football Club has recorded another milestone after the invitation of two of its players to the Imo State team ahead of their preparations for the upcoming FirstBank/Samuel Okwaraji U-16 Championship.
The development was revealed by the club’s Chief Executive Officer, Kennedy Onwunali, while leading the players at the state team’s training camp.
The two invited players, Valentine Odu and David Anyamele, have been selected for the Imo State U-16 team for the upcoming FirstBank/Samuel Okwaraji U-16 Championship where they will represent the state at the national competition. Valentine Odu captains Silversports FC, while David Anyamele finished as the club’s top scorer in the 2026 Imo State FA League, scoring two goals in three matches.
The invitation is another recognition of the club’s commitment to youth development. Founded in 2010, Silversports FC has continued to nurture young talent, offering them the opportunity to develop their football career.
Despite fielding the youngest team in the 2026 Imo State FA League, Silversports FC have earned widespread admiration for their fearless performances throughout the season. The team has recorded wins, suffered defeats and drawn draws, but has consistently impressed fans with its exciting brand of football.
According to Onwunali, the invitation of players is part of the club’s vision to expose talented footballers from Mbaise and nearby communities to higher levels of competition, creating opportunities for them to showcase their skills and progress to the next stage of their football careers.
He added that the club remains committed to identifying and developing young talents from Mbaise and surrounding areas through training matches and participation in football tournaments across Nigeria.
As part of its development programme, Silversports FC will also participate in the Afrisportpro competition, which kicks off today in Kano State. The club will also participate in other football engagements within Mbaise, Imo State and beyond as it prepares for the upcoming Imo State football competitions scheduled for September.
The club believes that continued participation in competitive tournaments will further enhance the development of its young talents and prepare them for professional football careers.
