“We are orienting, mentoring and grooming them” – Organisers of West African Talent Hunt

Following the success of its inaugural edition, which drew hundreds of young footballers from across West Africa, the West African Talent Hunt is set to expand its reach across the entire continent.

Organised by One World Sports Management Group, the three-day showcase brought together 16 teams made up of aspiring talents eager to impress a high-profile team of European scouts.

The scouting contingent was led by Innocent Okeke, the first Black individual to earn a FIFA license to operate in Scandinavia. Okeke and his team closely monitored the games, seeking the next wave of African stars.

Speaking after the event, Member of the organizers ;  Samuel Anim Addo shared his enthusiasm about the future direction of the Programme.

He also adds that this not just a scouting tournament,  the vision goes beyond simply exporting talent.

Standout performers from the tournament will progress to the next phase of the Programme, with the ultimate goal of launching professional careers abroad.
