When fake football recruitment turns to tragedy:-

Cheikh Toure, a promising young, Senegalese footballer had his life cut short when he was kidnapped by fake recruitment agents and found dead in Ghana.

The path to professional football is rife with ambition and desperation, a combination that rogue sport coaches, recruiters, club managers take advantage of.

Young sportsnen, exercise caution so that you don't fall into such traps.

Allow your Parents or Guardians to verify opportunities, do background checks on coaches and talent scouts, and involve local authorities or federations in all arrangements.

Keep safe ⚽
