Schulz
Academy is on the search for another Samuel Eto’o
"
Africa is quickly becoming the most interesting market for young talents. Top players in the best European Clubs are from
Africa . Samuel Eto’o (
Barcelona ), Didier Drogba, Esien (both Chelsea) and many more world class professionals played their youth soccer in
Africa . With this partnership we want to open the European and American Market for these young talents", explains Dr. Schulz, who represented more than 100 professional soccer players in
Europe before moving to the United States.
For this reason, Dr. Schulz will travel to Cameroon twice a year for 10 days to scout the best talents of the continent. The first trip to Cameroon will be end of November 2007, right before the transfer window opens in
Europe and the United States.
"We will also combine the trip with holding soccer camps in
Africa to give the children of the continent some hope for the future", continues Dr. Schulz.
"The partnership between the world renowned
Schulz Soccer Academy, and the "America For Africa Football Club" (AAFC), to organize soccer camps in Cameroon with the objective of scouting young and talented African players for professional clubs in
Europe and the United States will greatly contribute to the fight against poverty on the African continent. This is an opportunity that African players must seize", says Sopo Ngwa, Esq.,President of the "America For Africa Football Club",
Bamenda, Cameroon.
Two of "America For Africa FC" players are current members of Cameroon’s Youth National Teams. Yuyun Theodore alias “Ballack” plays for Cameroon’s U-19 National Team while Andre Blanchard is on Cameroon’s U-23 National Team.
