Amuludun Sports Management, in collaboration with OOA Sport Management and Direct Pro Africa, will host the Scout to Pro International Tournament from September 4 to 9, 2026, at Bariga Stadium. The tournament is designed as a talent-discovery programme to connect gifted young Nigerian players with professional opportunities in Europe. Direct Pro Africa will also be on ground to provide technology support and player tracking during the event.
Twenty teams will compete across five groups. *Group A*: Amuludun FC, Fame Sports FC, FC Bethel Sporting, Ikonnect FC. *Group B*: Leal FA, Athletic FC, FIMA FC, Stanique FC. *Group C*: Prince Kazeem Eletu FC, Elite Stars FC, Ojodu City FC, Awoniyi FC. *Group D*: Box 2 Box, Obazz FC, Double D FC, Utmost FC. *Group E*: Olympic Lagos, Utility Sports FC, OOA FC, MKA FC. Matches will run in two daily phases — 9am to 12pm, break from 12pm to 3pm, then 3pm to 6pm — to give players maximum exposure and scouting opportunities.
European scouting agencies including Temmy Sports Agency and Player Profile Agency are expected to attend and monitor players with potential to progress into professional football. Organisers say the tournament is more than competition, as it offers young players visibility, profile building, and a direct pathway to careers abroad. For aspiring footballers, Scout to Pro International Tournament is positioned as the platform where talent meets opportunity and dreams can take a decisive step towards reality.
