Cerebral Vortex Players Agency

WHAT A 12 MONTHS. ⚽🌍

Sometimes you have to look back to understand how far you have travelled.

Over the last year, our journey has taken us from scouting pitches in Côte d’Ivoire, Ivory Coast (West Africa) to some of the most important rooms in European football business.

🇨🇮 Scouting and developing talent in Côte d’Ivoire

🌍 Building genuine Africa → Europe player pathways

🇷🇸 Representing Cerebral Vortex as Ambassadors at Deal Done Serbia at the Serbian FA’s national football centre

🇭🇺 Becoming an official Partner of Football Forum Hungary at the iconic Puskás Aréna (HOST OF UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 2026)

🎤 Seeing our FIFA Licensed Agent Osita Aneke join the speaker line-up

⚽ Connecting with clubs, sporting directors, scouts, agents, investors and football executives from around the world

🇪🇸 Helping create a pathway from Adzopé into the CD Castellón environment in Spain

And separately, at founder level, becoming involved in an active European football-club acquisition process — seeing the industry from the ownership and investment side of the table as well.

Football Forum Hungary alone brought together:

80+ SPEAKERS
75+ EUROPEAN CLUBS
~800 PARTICIPANTS
60+ COUNTRIES

But numbers only tell part of the story.

The real progress is in the RELATIONSHIPS.

The trust.
The conversations.
The introductions.
The opportunities.
The knowledge.
And the work that happens when nobody is watching.

Our vision remains clear:

IDENTIFY.
DEVELOP.
PROTECT.
CONNECT.

Talent alone is not enough.

Young players need structure, professional guidance and genuine pathways.

And African football does not lack talent.

It needs more bridges into the global football ecosystem.

That is what we are working to build.

Côte d’Ivoire → Serbia → Hungary → Spain → Europe.

It has been a very busy year.

And we are only getting started. 🚀⚽

Thank you to everybody who has been part of the journey.

European clubs keep asking the wrong question.
Not "Is this player good enough?"
But "Did we build the conditions for him to succeed?"

When a young African footballer signs in Europe, he's expected to perform immediately — new country, new language, new culture, new pressure. All at once. From Day 1.

When it doesn't work?
"Bad signing."
