The Raineri Ghost team will be participating in TPL6 which kicks off December 19th 2015 at the Campos Mini Stadium. It’s a team made up of friends who have been playing football together for over 6 years.
Most members of Raineri Ghost FC have full time jobs which is one of the requirements to be a member of the team. The team has 30 players, 4 coaching staff (with coaching experiences in and out of the country on semi and professional level) and 4 medical staffs (3 are fully trained practicing doctors and 1 currently in medical school).
The team currently meets twice in a week for training and once every three months for our charity outreach. We also have a backroom staff of 4 which oversee its Legal, public relations, event and planning. The team has a cordial relationship with prominent TV/Radio sports broadcasters like: Deji Omotoyinbo, Biola Kazeem, Sayo Owolabi and Sola Rogers.
About The Twitter Premier League
The Twitter Premier League (TPL) is a football tournament that seeks to tap into the football loving passion that Nigerians show on social media.
The aim is to identify the fans who can back up their online football passion with talent, hence the official slogan being “Don’t just Tweet Football, Play football”. So fans are expected to “walk the talk”. The inaugural TPL edition held on the 29th of May (Democracy day), 2014 at Meadow Hall, Ikate Lekki featuring four male teams (The Guns, The Rebels, The Blues and The Red Devils) and two female teams (The Panthers and The Tsarinas), entirely sourced on Twitter.
The maiden edition sponsored by Samsung Mobile Nigeria, was won by the Red Devils (male championship) and the Tsarinas (female championship).
The massive online interest generated by the inaugural edition necessitated a second edition at the Campos Mini stadium, a third edition at the Children’s International School Lekki, and then fourth and fifth editions at the Campos mini stadium again.
The TPL has now grown into a twelve team league with interested teams from other major cities in Nigeria requesting their own editions of the TPL.
The TPL has evolved to become the biggest social media driven, semi-professional football tournament the state of Lagos has ever seen.
The TPL gives back to the community by partnering with charity outfits such as Stay in school Nigeria and Christmas on the Streets by participating in charity matches, events and outreaches.
