UNLOCKING TALENT WHERE IT MATTERS MOST
HTT Football Academy is proud to announce the selection of 66 promising young players from Ilupeju Grammar School during our 2025 Grassroots Football Scouting Tour.
This talent identification event is part of our mission to provide access to elite football training for students across Lagos, with a special focus on public schools and under-supported communities.
“We’re not just scouting players — we’re creating opportunities. What we saw in Ilupeju was pure, untapped potential.”
— Coach Sparrow, HTT Academy Scouting Coordinator
WHY ILUPEJU GRAMMAR SCHOOL?
As one of the standout public schools in mainland Lagos, Ilupeju Grammar School is known for its strong school spirit, sports engagement, and history of discipline. The school was selected as part of HTT Academy’s campaign to reach grassroots talent where structured training is most needed.
On scouting day, hundreds of students participated in:
- Ball control & dribbling drills
- Tactical awareness tests
- 1v1 duels
- Mini matches under pressure
- Agility and speed sessions
From these sessions, 66 young footballers were selected for the next stage: free trial training at HTT Academy.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Each selected player from Ilupeju Grammar School will:
- Attend a free trial session at their nearest HTT Academy centre
- Receive a full technical evaluation by licensed coaches
- Access potential scholarship opportunities for full enrollment

This is a life-changing opportunity for students to develop both on the pitch and as future leaders.
