Football fan spends three years making video game in frustration at teams being ignored

A frustrated video gamer has spent years creating a full set of leagues, teams and players after growing tired of them not being made available on existing titles.

Victor Daniyan, from Nigeria, became a big fan of existing titles such as FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer whilst studying at university. But he was annoyed that the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) never featured and that the vast majority of Nigeria-based players were not represented on the games.

Now, after a painstaking process that lasted three years and involved plenty of coding, Victor has created 50 clubs and over 1,400 players ready to be downloaded in what he believes is the first African-based soccer game - Vikssen Virtual.
