Niger-State born, U.S.based Nigerian political analyst, Mr. Mukhtar 'Aye Dee' Dan'Iyan has accepted to serve as a member, Board of Directors for Venezia F.C. Italy.
An excited Aye Dee tweeted the news some hours ago adding that part of his plans is to have open tryouts in Nigeria, so that at least one local Nigerian player gets to play for the club.
Over 10 years ago, he had written down one of his goals and it was that he intends to be involved in
leadership in a professional sports team. Today, that dream happened. His goal is to increase Nigeria's participation in professional sports from an ownership perspective. Not just as players and fans.
Venezia football club Italy been around since 1907, based in the historical city of Venice. It was recently acquired by a new ownership team and is now being repositioned to get to Div 1 in Italian League, from there to #1 in Europe.
Big congrats to Mr. Aye Dee.
