🌍 Success in Nigeria: Our First International Tryout by New Football Era

From June 11th to 14th, 2025, New Football Era hosted its first major International Tryout at the ABS Stadium in Kaduna, Nigeria, in close collaboration with Rayo Vallecano de Madrid.

🎯 Purpose and Format

Targeted at U19 players —with a parallel U14 tournament— the event brought together over 1,500 Nigerian footballers, evaluated over several days through competitive matches and performance tests. The sessions were supervised by our technical staff along with an official delegate from Rayo Vallecano, who was present on-site throughout the process.

⭐ Standout Results

After a week of intense and competitive football, Samuel Godwin (center back) and Hassan Musa (right winger) stood out as the tryout’s top performers. Both players have been invited to Spain to attend official trials with Rayo Vallecano in Madrid.

💡 Impact and Mission

This project reflects our mission: to identify, develop, and connect international talent with real opportunities in professional football. Nigeria has once again proven to be a country full of talent, discipline, and the hunger to succeed.

📅 What’s Next

• We’ll soon publish a video recap with the highlights from the Tryout.
• We will provide personalized follow-up for the selected players during their stay in Spain.
• We are working on new editions of the Tryout across other countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

This Tryout didn’t just showcase talent — it built real bridges, opened professional doors, and strengthened our commitment as a leading 360 service provider in the football industry.

This is only the beginning.
