Former Super Eagles skipper Nwankwo Kanu is one of the three judges for the final of the maiden National Freestyle Football Championship in Nigeria at the Ikeja City Mall, Lagos, on Sunday. The event being staged by Feet ‘n’ Tricks International Limited has GAC Motors as a major sponsor.
Kanu was an active member of the Super Eagles from 1994 to 2010. The former Arsenal attacker has since retired from playing football. Kanu was a member of the team that won gold at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. In 1993, after a notable performance at the U-17 World Championships, he was signed by Dutch powerhouse Ajax. He made his debut a year after and scored 25 goals in 54 appearances. The former Inter Milan midfielder won the 1995 UEFA Champions League title with Ajax.
Former European champion Daniel Mikolaj, who has consistently positioned himself as one of the top eight freestyle football athletes in the world in the past five years, is the head of the judges. Ghanaian Joel Asare, who is a two-time champion, will also be one of the judges. Asare represented Ghana at the Red Bull Street world finals 2013 in Tokyo. The CEO of Feet ‘n’ Tricks, O’dyke Nzewi, said arrangements had been concluded to stage a remarkable show on Sunday.
