Super Falcons star, Asisat Oshoala, is set to organize a clinic and championship for young girls under the aegis of her foundation in Lagos State in December 2019.
The event will hold in two phases with the first scheduled to be held from December 4 to 6, and the second phase will hold from December 20-24, at the Campus Mini Stadium.
