ANOTHER football academy, Sports Empowerment Club (SEC) has started its search for talented youngsters, who will constitute the academy which starts operations in January, 2010.

The SEC president Augustin Munyandamutsa told Times Sport mid this week that the aim of the academy is to elevate the quality of local football.

"We want to develop the sport from the grassroots which is why we are concentrating on under-15 players,” Munyandamutsa emphasized.
