Lagos, Nigeria – Union Bank has again demonstrated its commitment to youth development and quality education by sponsoring the 11th edition of the Greensprings Football Academy.

The five-day training camp, held from April 13 to April 17, 2025, at the School’s Lekki campus, catered to children aged 5 to 17.

Participants received expert coaching from top international coaches affiliated with the West Bromwich Albion Football Club, Dutch Football Association and the English Football League (EFL), alongside support from coaches from the Lagos State Football Association and Nigerian football legend Victor Ikpeba, “The Prince of Monaco.”

The closing ceremony, held on April 17, 2025, was graced by notable guests from the football community, including Lagos State FA Chairman Laimeed Gafar with Samuel Jake Whitmore, Jordan Hall and Owen Jones, West Bromwich Albion coaches.

During the closing ceremony, Bukola Ayeni, Lead External Communications, Union Bank of Nigeria, stated, “Union Bank is a sponsor in the Greenspring Football Academy under our Edu360 initiative, which aligns with one of our core values of being Community Focused.
