Enyimba made the news known after a couple of visits by the club officials to the Aba giants in February where Jørgen Bjørn and Chris Twiddy brought Leon Bardacki and Prince down to Aba in Nigeria to get to know Enyimba FC and their academy.
HamKam's Chief scout, Jorgen Byorn disclosed that the partnership will see the club help the 2-time African Champions League winners grow their youth teams.
"The purpose is to create a good collaboration that gives both clubs positive ripple effects. HamKam will help Enyimba build up the structure of their club, especially at youth level. We will assist them in the form of us traveling down to Nigeria twice a year and holding training sessions with their teams. When we are there, we will also hold lectures on various academic topics such as methodology, physical training recovery and other important things." The Norwegian club chief scout said.
"Kanu and his people will visit us annually. Players from Enyimba will be allowed to host with our A team and G19. We hope we can get more good players through this collaboration, concluded a satisfied Bjørn.
The club reports that Kanu and his delegation from Enyimba FC visited HamKam and Norway this week where the deal was cemented.
