The scouting programme in Abuja closed with two players selected. Selection here means the format keeps watching: a name goes onto a shortlist that a coach, and later a club, is asked to look at rather than take on trust.
It was the third day of the run in Abuja that March, after an evaluation and a day of matches. A selection made on the last day is a selection made about a player who has been seen more than once, which is the only kind worth making.
