A University don, Bonnyface Oji Peter Opia, has invented a new football-like game, which he christened the Beautiful Ball Game.
Opia who unveiled the new game in Lagos last week disclosed that the new game is similar to football, but “differs in many respects from the extant soccer game in areas such as field design, rules and method of play with invaluable new features that addresses major limitations of the current game.”
He disclosed that the game is played not necessarily to put the ball into the net but to target and achieve specific goals while doing so.
