The 2025 edition of the Digital Scouting Africa U-17 Talent Showcase is set to revolutionize football scouting in Africa by providing young players with global exposure through technology and partnerships, reports BSNSports.com.ng.

Football teams from across Nigeria are preparing for the Digital Scouting Africa (DSA) U-17 Talent Showcase, scheduled to take place from January 27 to 31, 2025, at the Inspire Sports Academy Arena in Oshodi, Lagos.

This innovative event is redefining how football talent is identified and developed in Africa, combining advanced technology with opportunities for international exposure.

Digital Scouting Africa, a collaboration between Tosmicom Sports and Digital Scouting Network Ltd, utilizes technology to provide young players with tools that were previously available only to professionals.

The Digital Scouting Africa Portal will offer player statistics, performance data, and digital scouting profiles, thereby opening doors to opportunities in professional football leagues across Europe, the MLS, and beyond. The U-17 Talent Showcase is just the beginning.

Selected standout players will have the chance to participate in the prestigious April Scouting Championship, where scouts from top European and MLS clubs will identify the most promising talents.

In addition, the DSA U-20 Talent Showcase will take place from February 18 to 24, 2025, bringing together teams from Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, and Benin.

Like the U-17 competition, this event will feed into the April Scouting Championship, creating a seamless progression for outstanding young players.

Key highlights of the January showcase include live streaming of all matches via the Digital Scouting Africa Portal, detailed performance analysis for players and teams, the creation of digital scouting profiles to enhance visibility for promising players, and the selection of an All-Star team to participate in the April scouting event.

As the DSA U-17 Talent Showcase approaches, it promises to revolutionize football scouting in Africa, ensuring that the continent’s vast talent pool receives the recognition it deserves.
