Ishiagu Grassroots Football: The challenging and Difficulties for developing young and Potential Footballers in  the Community



Some of us came from a community where Football  are not be taken seriously and that has been the case of a community,which is one of the 13 Local Government in Ebonyi State(Ivo Local Government Area)over the past 30 years or more .

Ishiagu is known for their cultural heritage(New Yam Festival) and also for  producing the best known Educationalist and Well Educated individuals across the state but at the same time they struggle to have any professional football players in any of the 11 communities ,which are ,Amaonye,Ngwogwo,Amaeze,Amata,Amagu,Okue,Ogwor,Ihie,Ihietutu,Amaeke,Amaokwe .


It has been a difficult and challenging issue for those Footballers who still want to play football on the high level to continue training Week in and week out and not having any chance of been given a opportunity to such that they are good enough to play soccer in any divisions in Nigeria.



Over the years,Ishiagu have seen so many great prospect players destroyed their football Careers because they could not get a proper Academy or a Divisions league side in Nigeria and those who went little further to play in the Nigeria Topflight League(Nigeria Professional Football League) career was caught short due to injuries and bad management of making poor decision and also self behaviors. Players like Ejike,Anayo (Two brothers from Amaeze) Henry Emmanuel(Ngwogwo born player) who is now having it so difficult to make any matchday Squad appearance for Kwara united this season and He is now on the verge of been released ahead of the start of next season.


The main question which should be asked is...Why is it so difficult and challenging for Ishiagu to produce three or Four players to play in any divisions league in Nigeria .the decision will take now will also help those young prospect coming up, great prospect like Chinoso Nwagbo(Buffon), Joseph Ogbonnia(Joe),Divine Junior and Enyim Emmanuel .who have all the potentials to succeed in their football careers .

This is now the time to talk more about how to developed Ishiagu football and not the other way around because Football can change how other Local Governments in the state think about us ....
