Nanegbe evicted from MTN Soccer Academy

The MTN Soccer Academy 7 “Skuulz Challenge” 2, witnessed its first eviction last Sunday night in a stunning blend of youthful soccer prowess, music and entertainment at the MTN Soccer Academy House at Ridge in Accra.

The fun and excitement was nonetheless, unfortunately a short-lived one for 19- year- old George Nanegbe, of the Bishop Herman College and his teeming supporters, as the “Executioner” finally announced the rather sad news of his eviction from the competition. 

The news of Nanegbe’s eviction was received with noticeable shock by his enthusiastic supporters who could not lift up their heads anymore, but only bowed in disbelief and disappointment.   

In an exclusive interview, the 5.6ft winger was however, grateful to the organisers of the Show, Optimum Media Prime, and its title sponsor, MTN, for offering him what he described as an “amazing opportunity” to work on his soccer talent.

“Right from the day we were inducted into the House, I told myself that whether I am evicted or emerged as the overall winner, I will make the most of this opportunity and come out of the competition a better person”. Nanegbe revealed.

Making a general assessment of Nanegbe’s performance over the period, head coach of the Soccer Academy, Yaw Preko, said  Nanegbe was a fairly good player, but noted that Nanegbe would need a great deal of tactical discipline and one-on-one coaching to help him develop his skills.
