of the most striking things about observing the grassroot players during their training is their enthusiasm, something that is inspired by football but not confined to it. Many of them have rarely been supported or even encouraged in their life before, but Betika provided just that support, giving them a sense of confidence that they channel into improving their own lives outside their hoods. ” said top recording label Grandapa Records founder and Ceo Refigah aka Noah Yusuf.
