The management of the Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan has picked Ilaro in Ogun State as camping site for the team in preparations for the 2016/2017 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season.
This is perhaps informed by the array of club sides already having their training sessions in Ijebu Ode, the regular habitat of the Oluyole Warriors in the last five football seasons!
To this end, 35 players and seven officials have arrived in Ilaro where the team is scheduled to start training today.
The squad is made up of 17 old players and 18 possible new signings with five from Team B of the club!
In his reaction, the technical adviser of 3SC, Fatai Amoo says the first two phases of the screening have been successful going by the calibre of players who made the cut.
“It’s been a tough but interesting exercise and we took the best decision in final selections of the players,” he disclosed.
The former Sunshine Stars coach assured the club teeming fans of good runs when the new season starts next month.
“Soon, the world would see new emerging stars in the team, we only crave for their continued support and understanding” Amoo stated.
Meanwhile, General Manager of 3SC, Rasheed Balogun said: “We must not fail to plan for us to succeed, that’s why we have to move to where our concentrations will be full. For now, Ilaro is it and we assure our fans and supporters of a good team”.
