Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has urged young footballers at Beyond Limits Football Academy to prioritize their education alongside their football careers, while generously donating ₦10 million to support the academy’s development.
Based in Ikenne, Ogun State, Beyond Limits Football Academy serves as the youth wing of Nigeria Professional Football League champions, Remo Stars. The academy has earned international recognition through its participation in prestigious youth tournaments, including the Gothia Cup in Sweden and the Viareggio Tournament in Italy, reaching the semi-finals in both competitions.

Speaking on The Side of Football Nobody Talks About with Smallie, Osimhen opened up about his early career, emphasizing that success in football requires far more than just talent.

Strong Message on Education and Humility

“There are places your talent can never take you that grace will,” the 2023 CAF Player of the Year added.
