The Chairman, Ekiti State Football Association (EKSFA) Bayo Olalenge, says he does not support the state ownership or funding of football clubs in the country.<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
\n

Olalenge made the remark on Tuesday\u00a0 on the sidelines of the Lagos Soccer Fiesta at the Maracana Sports Complex, Ajegunle, Lagos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He said that government\u2019s role in supporting sports and football especially, should be limited to the provisions of sports infrastructure, security, road networks and tax rebate for importation of sports equipment.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor grassroots development of football to thrive, I don\u2019t believe that we need government to fund sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment\u2019s role should be to make sports viable by providing the necessary infrastructure<\/a> and the business people will come.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to see that football is business; so, for me, I don\u2019t support government sponsoring sports; it should be strictly a business. People need to make money from their investment in sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Ekiti, people hardly come out to watch football matches unlike many other states that can have about 17,000 spectators in the stands. In our stadium, maybe we can manage 1,000 spectators.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we need to go at our own pace and design the template first\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, there is the need to create a sporting culture to make it appealing to the people of Ekiti, after which private investors can take it up from there.<\/p>\n

Olalenge decried the huge money expended on the state-run football club, Ekiti United FC.<\/p>\n

According to him, such the money has yet to bring any return on investment, adding that the structure of the clubs does not permit a transparent management.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe N72 million for Ekiti United FC is a waste of funds because it did not yield any results. Most of the players of the club are non-indigenes who cannot vote.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us in the state FA in 2019\/2020, the money we spent for the whole year was N6 million, and last year, we spent N18 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, we have a club gulping N72 million and if I may ask, what have we benefited so far?<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my opinion, I am not impressed with the club and I don\u2019t support government<\/a> spending money on football clubs\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

He said with involvement in financing the governments would interfere with the running of the clubs through the appointment of officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way to go is for government to provide the sports infrastructure, good road networks, especially security, so that people will feel safe to come to the stadium and watch live matches.\u201d<\/p>\n

Olalenge described football as a big investment platform, which should be left for the private businesses to operate, a model which he said had succeeded in other climes.<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball is a big platform for business, which a lot of private organisations are waiting to tap into. This is what is obtainable in the established leagues all over the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe established leagues have created good contents which are sellable to the investors and also, people are eager to come to the stadium to watch the stars on the pitch.<\/p>\n

\u201cLive matches from the leagues attract advertisement from corporate organisations and many other incentives. Governments there only come up with policies that will allow the business to thrive,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
