The Pepsi Football Academy has sent 20 youngsters to the selection exercise at the National Under 17 trials in Ibadan.

The students were selected after three days of intensive screening in Lagos that involved over 60 students of the academy from centres across the country.

They are expected to fight for places to represent the country at the qualifying matches of the African Junior Nations Cup which will be used to select Africa's representatives at the Under 17 Junior World Championship.
