How did you plan to effectively pursue your football dreams in 2023? What you have always wanted is to sign for a good club, preferably abroad, in Europe, right?
It all boils down to a scout or agent or those connected to a club seeing you play and taking interest in you, then deciding to take you to a club trials abroad. The question is how can a genuine Scout or an Agent discover you? How can a club invite you for trials abroad?
Our job is to inform you of opportunities available for you to be discovered and then, attend trials both in Nigeria and or abroad. Well, most of the trials, scouting and talent development programs listed here are those we at FantaXtik Sport Marketing and Management Ltd will be directly or indirectly involved in organizing.
We will continually update this post as we find other football trials, scouting and talent development opportunities in Nigeria and abroad. So, this is not a post you read one time and close up. Bookmark and always return to read this post again and again. Maybe, on interval of say one week or so. That way you will not miss out anytime we update.
