The presentation was organised by social media influencer Abdulsalam Idris, popularly known as Smallie, who documented the academy in a YouTube documentary titled The Side Of Football Nobody Talks About. “I know what it’s like coming from the trenches, especially when you play football. Many of us, myself included, have gone through the same struggles that many of you are going through now,” Osimhen said. Beyond Limits Football Academy, based at Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, Ogun State, was established in 2022 and competes in the Nigeria National League, the country’s second-tier competition.
