The race for the top seat in FCT Football Association is gathering pace. As one of the foremost grassroots football promoter and President of Heart FC, Adam Muktar Mohammed has successfully being screened and joins the fray.

Muktar who has been at the forefront of promoting and discovering fresh football talents at the grassroots level and spending millions of his hard earned money on the provision of a platform for young talent as well sponsoring of coaches and referees to resher courses.

The former FCT FA vice chairman's decision to contest for the chairmanship seat of the Nation's FA has been described by many stakeholders and discerning football enthusiasts as a welcome development.

His team Heart FC has produced top players like Chrisantus Macauley, Musa Muhammed, Ifeanyi Mathew, to mention but a few and promises to discover more talents in FCT that will play for the national teams.

He however, frowned at the deplorable situation of the FA office at Old Parade ground and the Area 3 playground. He vowed to turn the Area 3 playground around by building toilets, dressing rooms, stadium stands, renovate the car park and stadium environment.

"I am ashamed each time I see the office at the Old Parade, it is an eyesore. If I am voted, we shall rebuild the office as well as the Area 3 playground's toilet, dressing rooms, car park, and stadium stands."

Mukhtar noted that the FA has not done enough in the past to attract sponsors, adding that no serious company will deal with FA without online presence and office.

"How do we attract sponsors and partners, when we don't a befitting office, more so, there is no website, and social media push. The league has been run without adequate media hype. We can not attract sponsors like that."

He promised to bring the media to the front burner as he opined that football is a media event.

"We are going to partner with media and make sure they are included in whatever we do. Bringing them fully to participate and play their role will give the FA the necessary facelift."
