Tradenext Launches UK Football Search
Financial trading company TradeNext has launched a new search to uncover new football stars, specifically targeting Asian talent across the UK.
The Search For An Asian Football Star initiative will offer more than 500 young Asian footballers the chance to showcase their skills in free, hour-long training sessions, led by FA-qualified coaches.
After a series of training and skills sessions at Powerleague centres, the most promising 32 players will be invited to compete for a week at the ‘TradeNext FootballCV Academy’, which will include a training session at St George’s Park, the Football Association’s state-of-the-art Home of Football Learning.
TradeNext chief executive Mohsin Jameel said: ‘Our Search For An Asian Football Star initiative represents TradeNext’s corporate goals and objectives, which is to support aspiring talent in the British Asian community.’
‘The UK is home to more than three million people of South Asian origin. As a community they have contributed highly to various sectors. However, in the field of football, there remains a distance. TradeNext aims to bridge this gap and showcase future talent.’
The SFAAFS training sessions kick off at Wembley Powerleague on Saturday 13th September, and the first 25 players to register will also win a free tour of Wembley Stadium.
Search For An Asian Football Star is open to boys and girls of all abilities, with sessions divided into four age groups: Under 12s, Under 14s, Under 16s and Under 18s.
