"All the matches have been held and the players, coaches and other technical officials associated with the competition have marvelled at the quality of facilities found in Delta State.
"I will embark on a visitation tour of the four venues next week to physically feel the pulse of the players. But what I have gathered from some of their officials and the players that I have seen their matches, they are happy to be in Nigeria.
"With what we have seen, WAFU executive are further encouraged to start the process of looking for funds to run the WAFU inter-club competition from next year, early next year to be specific. The inter-club competition is relatively cheaper," Adamu said.
