The African University of Science and Technology (AUST) Football Team recorded an impressive 3–0 victory over NURUDDEEN FC at the Success Sports Scouting Programme held on Thursday, 5 November 2026.

The programme, organised in partnership with FAB Academy, the football academy operating on campus, was designed to identify promising young football talents for potential international trials and opportunities abroad. It brought together players from various football academies to showcase their abilities before professional scouts.

The event featured Nigerian international footballer and former Super Eagles captain, Kenneth Omeruo, who attended alongside his scouting team. Following the impressive performance of some AUST players, Omeruo expressed interest in their talents and indicated that his manager would follow up on potential opportunities.

Beyond the team’s victory, the programme provided an important platform for AUST students to demonstrate their footballing abilities, gain valuable exposure and explore opportunities for further development at the international level.

The University congratulates the team on their outstanding performance and appreciates the Student Affairs Department, FAB Academy and the University Sports Coach, Mr Jeffrey Gambo, for their efforts in facilitating the opportunity.
