All soccer agents in Africa have been sent invitations where they are only allowed to bring five players of their choice to the event at the University of Johannesburg.
According to the president of World Wide Scholarships Group, Munya Maraire, the objectives of the trial camps are to identify Africa’s top players from ages 10 to 23 and then link them up with top European clubs.
“The World Wide Scholarships Group, through our professional management division, have now partnered with UK-based Concept 4 Soccer International and this relationship has now enabled us to guarantee trials for players on a yearly basis based on their performance.
“As you know, from before, today the road to Europe for our (Zimbabwean) players and other players in Africa has been long and sometimes far fetched with few players from Africa being able to get this opportunity. This is now in the past due to our initiative which allow these players to first have their trials here in Africa before we send them overseas.
“Our trials opportunity will, among other things, identify the level and ability of each player on the European grading scale, guarantee a selected talented player of a fair chance at being scouted for professional teams in Europe by being invited to the Concept 4 Soccer International Residential trials in the UK in July. We also guarantee trials once the player is vetted through our verification system and profile is evaluated. And what will happen to the selected players? Selected players will be linked with professional trials opportunities,” Maraire said.
