Don Jazzy, the head honcho of Mavin Records, and D’banj, the singer, have both launched new football clubs.
In a recent Instagram post, Lagos Liga, Nigeria’s premier private football league, unveiled Jazzy’s ‘Supremos FC’ and D’banj’s ‘Koko FC’.
Both clubs have been registered to compete in the league, which is scheduled to kick off in December.
Supremos FC and Koko FC will join ten other teams in a league that promises to be a venue for non-professional players and football veterans to compete in high-stakes matches.
Regarding the Mavins boss’ team, Lagos Liga said “if Jazzy’s midas touch, as expressed across several other sectors, translates to football, then other teams should be worried”.
It also described D’banj’s venture into football as “one other teams should pay attention to”.
The organisers of Lagos Liga announced that N50 million prize is up for grabs.
The development comes after Burna Boy, the Afrofusion star, launched his football academy for boys aged 4 to 21.
In August, ‘Burna Boy Football Academy’ was unveiled with training centers across Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.
