Scouts watch young talents at West African Talent Hunt
The maiden edition of the West African Talent Hunt concluded in Accra on June 26, 2025.
The three-day event saw players from 16 clubs get the opportunity to be watched by agents and scouts from Europe.
The competition was put together by the One World Sports Management group.
Slovenian scout for FC Koper, Roy Rudonja, revealed the rationale behind their participation in the tournament.
“We are looking for complete players; players who can play in certain positions. We can add in training what the player is missing in skillset, because at the moment it’s difficult for them to make it to the professional game,” he said.
Former Accra Great Olympics coach, Bismark Kobina Mensah, also urged local players to give their best when scouts are present.
“For me, it’s one of the best things that can happen to them (to have scouts around) because when a scout comes from Europe to Ghana to watch you, you have to see it as a good opportunity because your target is to go there. When you see them like this, the best you can do is to show up,” he added.
Teams such as Berekum Chelsea, Attram de Visser, Great Somas, Zilina Africa and a host of others were all involved.
Selected players from the three-day event will move to the next phase of the programme before getting the opportunity to move outside.
