The items, which include leather balls, jerseys, boots, keeper gloves, water bottles and sports pumps, were presented to the Academy at the Main Bowl of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos on Saturday, February 21st 2015.

 While receiving the items, the Rector of CFA, Godwin Dudu-Orumen, commended Promasidor for taking the initiative. He said since 2012 when the CFA was established, Promasidor has always been supportive of the cause unlike the case with other similar laudable ideas. “This is brilliant; many organisations establish institutions like CFA and go to bed without adequate and effective support to actualise the objectives. Ours is an exception as Promasidor is always around to attend to our cause.
