Asisat Oshoala is organising a clinic and championship for young girls under the aegis of her foundation in Lagos this December.

The Barcelona striker, whose event will be staged in two phases at the Campus Mini Stadium, has scheduled the first to be held from December 4 to 6, while the second from December 20 to 24.

Oshoala has also received the backing of the Lagos state government for her Football4girls Africa Project, which will train at least a thousand girls, the basic rudiments of football in Lagos.
