The Lagos FA Chairman Hajji Gafar Liameed, on Saturday at the FA Secretariat in Surulere, set up a beach football association to champion the rebirth of the game in the state.
The Lagos State Beach Soccer Association (LSBSA) has renowned football administrator, Chief Godson Uti, as chairman.
Chief Uti, in his speech appreciated the idea to set up the association, which he described as noble.
“This is a laudable move and I tell you, it’s long overdue. Lagos State used to be the hub and centre for beach soccer in Nigeria.”
He went ahead to state that his association would work assiduously to ensure that beach soccer returns to Lagos in a big way.
Other members of the LSBSA include Mojeed Adegbidin, Jelili Ogunmuyiwa, Bayo Akande, Shade Johnson and Vianney Rotimi.
