Inspire Sports Academy International, Nigeria, has recorded yet another milestone with the transfer of one of its promising young stars, Falana James, to MFK Vitkovice of the Czech Republic.
The exciting attacking midfielder, fondly called “SK Baller” by fans and teammates, has signed a one-year contract with the European side following a series of impressive performances in local and international scouting programs.
Falana first caught the attention of scouts while playing for Royal Godwin SA Football Academy in Akure, Ondo State. His outstanding displays earned him a move to Inspire Sports Academy, where he continued to refine his skills and mature into a dynamic playmaker.
According to the Academy’s Public Relations Officer, Oluwatope Ayokunle (Tubaba), Falana’s journey is a testament to the power of dedication, discipline, and consistent performance. He revealed that Falana was among the players shortlisted for the prestigious Viareggio Tournament in Italy, following his excellent showings during various scouting events.
“Falana’s success underscores the Academy’s commitment to grooming young talents for global opportunities,” said Tubaba. “Several of our players have already secured professional deals abroad, and more signings are expected before the end of the current transfer window.”
Inspire Sports Academy International continues to strengthen its grassroots scouting network across Nigeria, with upcoming talent identification programs scheduled for Edo, Ondo, Delta, and other states before the end of the year.
Before sealing his overseas move, Falana featured prominently in the 1XBET Cup, scoring twice in the knockout stages. Meanwhile, the Inspire Junior Team (ISAGT) is set to play in the final of the Lagos State 1XBET Community Cup 2025 against Ikorodu City on Thursday, October 16, with the winner expected to walk away with a ₦10 million prize.
