2 min read
Young footballers across Nigeria are set for another life-changing opportunity as Tophive Soccer Network, in collaboration with Tubaba Football Scouting Academy Network Nigeria (NGO), has announced plans for the 2026 Tophive Grassroot Summer Scouting Program, an initiative designed to identify, develop, and expose the country’s next generation of football stars.
The programme, which will run from July 26 to September 6, 2026, in Akure, Ondo State, is expected to attract more than seven reputable football clubs and scouting agencies. It will provide a platform for talented players in the U-13 and U-17 categories to display their abilities before experienced football scouts, talent managers, and club representatives.
Among the clubs and football organisations confirmed for the scouting programme are Moyero Football Club, BGC Sports Management, Vido 99 FC, Mapo Sports Management Ltd, Amuludun FC, Ojodu City FC, and G12 FC. Their participation is expected to create genuine opportunities for outstanding players to earn trials, academy placements, and possible professional contracts.
The partnership between Tophive Soccer Network and Tubaba Football Scouting Academy Network Nigeria reflects a shared commitment to strengthening grassroots football by creating a credible pathway for talented youngsters to progress in the game.
Beyond being a football competition, the scouting programme is designed to focus on talent discovery, player development, and football excellence. Participants will not only compete but also have the opportunity to be evaluated by professionals searching for promising talents capable of excelling at higher levels of the sport.
With excitement already building ahead of the programme, organisers believe the event will further reinforce Akure’s growing reputation as one of Nigeria’s emerging centres for grassroots football development while giving gifted young players the platform they need to pursue their dreams.
With its inspiring theme, “Grassroots to Greatness,” the programme reflects the shared commitment of Tophive Soccer Network and Tubaba Football Scouting Academy Network Nigeria to discovering exceptional talents, promoting player development, and creating genuine pathways for young footballers to reach the highest levels of the game. As preparations continue, the 2026 Tophive Grassroot Summer Scouting Program is expected to become one of the country’s leading platforms for grassroots talent identification and football excellence.
