NBN23 x Federazione Italiana Pallacanestro: 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟐𝟑/𝟐𝟒 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 Two years into our journey with the Italian Basketball Federation, starting with the 3x3 Estathé, the C-Gold series (now C-Unica), and the National Youth Finals, our commitment to collaborating and accelerating the digitalization of Italian basketball has led to many significant milestones. The launch of the spin-off app of SWISH, 𝐅𝐈𝐏 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐒, has created new opportunities to showcase our product and the basketball community, as well as new challenges. We have successfully met these challenges, thanks in part to the creation of the FIP Stats accounts on 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐢𝐤𝐓𝐨𝐤. Our main goal is to give visibility to the entire basketball community, and these platforms play a crucial role in amplifying the voices of all leagues and young players, highlighting the unique talents of Italian basketball. Our journey doesn't stop here. This summer, we will continue with the Master and Top Stages of the 3x3 Estathé Circuit and the friendly matches of the Youth National Teams. In the next season, we will further increase the number of games and leagues digitized with FIP Stats. We are just at the beginning of a path that we are immensely enjoying together with the Federatione Italiana Pallacanestro! #Digitization #ItalianBasketball #NBN23 #Innovation

Interesting Update! #ManuelKingxBullSports

Almost 4 years ago, I had to walk away from an incredibly meaningful work in Nigeria’s collegiate sports. One I had unwaveringly dedicated 4 years earlier to co-build and lead. For a country with lots of talented student-athletes, our young have been consistently deprived of credible opportunities to dream, play sports and thrive. We were solving a deep-rooted and daunting national problem. Runs full circle to share that I have founded Varsity Cup 🇳🇬, the annual national university football championships for Nigeria’s best men’s and women’s university teams and will be leading it with the active support of the powerful Nigerian University Games Association (NUGA). Like my unflinching faith in our youth, Varsity Cup 🇳🇬 reflects a strong pro student-athlete stance. Alongside other financial benefits, scholarships and professional career opportunities, we will be rewarding outstanding players in every game with the sum of N100,000 (totalling over $2000) and carefully position them for the right attention. I am very humbled by how fast and seamless the partnership process was. It was completed and signed in a couple of days! Grateful to my bosses and mentors at NUGA for their vision and faith in my abilities, especially the President, Engr. M.A. Bawa and Technical Chairman, Prof. M.G. Yakasai who kept in touch and remained persistent that there was still a lot of work to do in building the future of collegiate sports. With my current commitment in higher ed with Landa (Spring '23), it was important to answer 3 important questions before also taking on this impactful venture: 1. What level of competition delivers the most value to talented student-athletes and universities with great sports programs? 2. Can the competition be sustainable and viable from year 1? 3. How inclusive can this competition be in consistently empowering both male and female athletes? Our most exciting news is the 2025 season of Varsity Cup Women’s Football, right after we complete the Men’s Cup this year. This is a personal dream come true.  And you as a fan can get to enjoy these Varsity fireworks of football games right on your phone live via YouTube and Facebook!

🔥 Exciting Moments and New Challenges in Football! ⚽ Throwback to my time in Lisbon, where I had the incredible experience of winning derbies against Sport Lisboa e Benfica and Sporting Clube de Portugal with Clube de Futebol Os Belenenses as an assistant coach. The thrill was unmatched! 🏆 Fast forward to today, as the Head Coach for U15 Girls at Rio Ave FC, I've returned to 7v7 games. While I anticipated similar exhilarating moments, coaching girls' youth football in Portugal presented unique challenges. The intensity and commitment levels were different compared to the boys and men I've coached before but through resilience and flexibility, I've come to cherish this dedicated group of girls. Witnessing their joy when we clinched our first derby victory and reclaiming the 1st position was truly exhilarating! 🌟 To those skeptical about women's football, let me tell you - with the right guidance, these girls have immense potential to shine! 🌟 A humble request to FPF - Federação Portuguesa de Futebol: As you revamp the Women's leagues, please prioritize the Youth national championships. The current U19 II Division format allows only 14 official games in a season (if you do not reach the finals), whereas U15s in a Regional Championship (Associação de Futebol do Porto) will play 24 games. More games mean more opportunities for growth and development for our young talents! 🙏 If you believe in the power and potential of women's football, please share this post. Together, we can make a difference in shaping the future of women's football in Portugal! 💪⚽ #WomensFootball #FutureIsBright #CoachingJourney #FPF #FootballDevelopment
