ALIMOSHO FC Women’s team captain, Ogundele Olasubomi, was at her Alma Mater, Iganmode Grammar School, yesterday, to kickstart the Alimosho FC in Schools Project.
The Alimosho FC in Schools Project, a community development initiative, is aimed at inspiring school children through the players of the football club.
Players in the Alimosho FC squad are challenged to go back to their secondary schools and communities to talk to students about sports leadership whilst also letting them understand the possibility of combining education with sports.

“Alimosho FC In Schools is a recurring project that should involve all the athletes and see them give back to the school they graduated from. There is the need to take organized sports back to school as this is where future stars really are not the streets." Alimosho FC's spokesman said.
