Following the visit to his home town ILE-IFE, to inspect FAKREM Football Academies? subsidary, about 200 km outside of Lagos, in the South West of Nigeria, Francis Akinremi seized the opportunity to have meetings with other Football Academy owners on how the Academies of the region could join force and co-operate to standardize the Academies at Ile-Ife. The initiative was very well recepted.
Among the owners of the Football Academies and Soccer Schools the decision had been taken to form a League between the Football Academies and matches are held at the IFE City Town Stadium on a weekly basis.


The founding members/teams of the IFE-ILE Academy League will be as following:
