Ahead of the kickoff of the 2022–2023 season, Nigeria’s third-tier football league, Nationwide League One (NLO), has outlined intentions to use new technology to facilitate the work of player agents and scouts.
According to NLO's media officer, Abdulgafar Oladimeji, the introduction of the technological scouting device was primarily designed to showcase the skills and talents of young football players in the league to international clubs.
The 2023 season is set to begin on May 3 at Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano.
