Daily Trust Saturday

Kicking off!

-

The much talked about visit of Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA to Nigeria has come and gone without hitches but tongues are still wagging over the true agenda behind the two day working visit.

Most Nigerians are of the view that the embattled president of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick arranged the visit of the FIFA president for political reasons.

For such people, it was the NFF that gained most from the visit. Our cover story this week takes a look at what transpired before and during the visit of Infantino.

This week we serve you an inciting interview granted us by one of the legends in the Nigerian League, David Tyavkase who spoke to us on his mission in Lobi Stars of Makurdi. The winner of the prestigiou­s CAF Champions League with Enyimba disclosed so many things about his career.

The Nigeria Profession­al Football League continues this weekend with mouth watering fixtures scheduled to hold at match venues across the country with the star match being the oriental derby between Enyimba FC and Rangers in Port-Harcourt. However just like last week, all eyes will be where title chasing Rangers and Wikki Tourists are taking on their opponents.

And world number two tennis player, Andy Murray of Great Britain is focused on retaining his singles medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics which will commence on August 5th to 21st in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

We round up this edition of SHOT! by bringing to you some of the players who have retraced their steps to their original clubs in the ongoing summer transfer window in European football.

At this juncture, we step aside for you to have uninterrup­ted view of this edition of your ever blazing SHOT!.
