Скачать или смотреть How to Become a Pro Footballer in Germany (for African Players)

To all African talents: Germany needs you.

Becoming a pro isn’t about “connections”; it’s a clear, repeatable process.

In this live session, we break that process down step-by-step with our partner, ScoreInn.

Going live: Sat, Sept 06, 2025 — 08:00 WAT / 09:00 CEST
Guest: Paul Schmitz (CEO & Co-Founder, ScoreInn)

Becoming a professional footballer in Germany (or anywhere in Europe) is a process, not a mystery. We’ll show the exact steps most players miss, so you can spend less time guessing and more time progressing.
