The partnership extends to all Kano Pillars teams, including the B team, junior pillars, and youth squads (U19, U15, U13). This comprehensive approach aims to nurture talent at all levels.

This revolutionary partnership, spearheaded by new General Manager and Nigerian footballing legend Ahmed Musa, will help propel Kano Pillars to the next level.
