HRH, Ter Kunav, the chairman and his team had proved by their visit and presentations that they are passionate about taking football in Vandeikya to the next level.

While making reference to the emergence of Joseph Yobo, a former Super Eagles player, the highly respected Royal Father appreciated the chairman, Mr. Robert Akpenpuun and his team for having and showing great passion to help the cause of football and youth development in Kunavland.

He prayed that sooner than later, with the renewed zeal and drive of the leaders, Kunav youths will be in great leagues and in the Nigerian national teams.

He promised to appeal to Kunav sons and daughters at home and in the diaspora to support the Ter u Kunav while also pledging his support in individual and official capacity.
