Talent Scouting

Identifying elite young African talent in football and rugby — and creating clear pathways into professional academies and senior teams.

The story

Why this matters.

Africa produces some of the world's most gifted footballers — and increasingly, top rugby talent. Most of them are never seen by the people who could change their careers.

We scout intentionally — local network, direct academy relationships, real conversations with families — and represent only the players we believe in. From the moment a player signs, the work of long-term development begins.

How we do it

Our process.

  1. 01

    Identification

    A local scouting network and direct relationships with academies and clubs across East and Central Africa — football and rugby.

  2. 02

    Assessment

    Multiple viewings, fitness benchmarks, character references, and a long conversation with the family before anything is signed.

  3. 03

    Pathway design

    An individual plan tied to age and ambition — academy, education, exposure tournaments, and structured introductions to clubs.

  4. 04

    Long-term commitment

    Once we sign a player, we are their representation for as long as they want us. No revolving door, no handover.
