"Like many young athletes, I dreamed of a professional football career and was captivated by the prospect of playing overseas. So, when an 'opportunity' arose to play abroad, I seized it without hesitation—only to discover it was a classic ‘overseas football academy scam.’ At the time, I was unaware of the deceptive ‘academies’ and soccer ‘scouts’ preying on excited players and their families, a common plague in the football world.
Turning this negative experience into a positive one, I sought new connections in Europe, which led me to play at a semi-professional level in Spain. Through this journey, I realised that my path wasn’t in playing football but in leveraging the relationships we had built. I was driven by a passion to offer real football pathways for aspiring players, ensuring they wouldn’t fall victim to the same pitfalls I encountered. Instead, they would have the opportunity to chase their dreams on their own merits or at least know they gave it their best shot. This is why I created Elite Football.
​
Since then, Elite Football has grown significantly. We are now partnered with La Liga clubs and over 25 of the biggest professional clubs in Europe, creating genuine football opportunities for players. We've successfully signed more than 10 amateur football players to professional contracts or scholarships. Our commitment to real, impactful pathways has transformed the dreams of many young athletes into reality, setting them on the path to success in the football world."
"After a disappointing experience when I sent my son Alan for 'trials' in Spain, where a soccer academy misled us, we founded Elite Football. This experience was eye-opening and led us to be very cautious about whom we partner with. It's also why we have a strong preference for working directly with clubs rather than academies, ensuring a more transparent and fruitful pathway for our players.
With over 20 years of experience in the football world, our network and contacts in Europe are unmatched, allowing us to find a suitable club for every player at Elite Football. While we can't guarantee that every player will be selected, we ensure they get the chance to be seen by the right people. The rest, however, is up to them.
This journey has taught us the importance of trust and honesty in the football industry. Our mission is to prevent other families from experiencing the pitfalls we encountered and to provide a supportive environment where players can truly flourish. At Elite Football, we’re committed to nurturing talent with integrity, offering guidance, and opening doors to football opportunities that can transform the lives of young athletes. This approach has not only set us apart but also solidified our reputation as a beacon of reliability and success in connecting aspiring players with their dream clubs."
