Sports especially soccer brings people of diverse backgrounds together and provides the opportunity to work together, develop friendships and builds discipline and focus. It was a pleasure to work with all the children and volunteers from the Bank. Thank you to Standard Chartered and the SC Nigeria Limited team for a wonderful opportunity. I am hopeful to see some of the children go on to play professionally in the future.”
