Nigeria Striker Joins Slovekian Club

Slovakian football club RSC Hamsik has announced the signing of Emersons Praisegod, a talented young striker from Unique Futbol Academy. The move follows a series of rigorous negotiations and marks a significant milestone in Emersons' budding career.

Emersons was one of five promising players discovered by one of the foreign scouts; Diego Martins during the Unique Futbol Academy Scouting Program in Lagos, November 2023. He impressed scouts while representing AlKali Football Academy, catching the attention of Diego Martins, who facilitated his move to RSC Hamsik.

After signing with RSC Hamsik, Emersons was drafted into the club's U19 team. His impressive performances earned him a promotion to the main team, where he will play alongside former Napoli star Marek Hamsik who is the owner of the club. This opportunity is particularly significant, as Hamsik is currently preparing for his retirement testimonial match.

Unique FA CEO AbdulJalil Oladimeji expressed his delight with Emersons' accomplishment, highlighting the academy's mission to provide young players with a platform to succeed. "Our scouting program aims to give kids a befitting career in football," he said. "We're thrilled to see Emersons take this significant step in his career."

Unique Futbol Academy is already gearing up for the next edition of its Scouting Program, with top European scouts and clubs showing interest in participating. This bodes well for the future of Nigerian football, as the academy continues to provide opportunities for young players to shine on the international stage.
