“African players are a potential moving force in Europe. Some will step up their careers in football, while others will be at a loss. The Africa Cup of Nations has brought this issue to light. The creator of the movie Black Diamond told Elle his economist about the data from his study.”

For every Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané or Riyad Mahrez as European football figures, there are at least 60 African footballers who did not reach the pinnacle of football.

Africa is already one of the largest producers of footballers in the world. The quality of the players is reflected in the value of Salah (150 million euros) and Sané (120 million), among the 10 most valuable in international football.

According to a study by the Observatory of the Center for International Sports Studies, African countries are the region that exports the most players to European football. At least last season 1,104 African footballers made it to European leagues. In addition, we must add the players who are the product of migration to Europe, and who have adopted a new nationality.

While the Africa Cup of Nations is developing and the clubs look for the new Salah, there are at least 20 Africans who will not be able to play football, they will be abandoned by false visors, representatives, they will suffer injuries that will keep them away from football, they will even meditate to leave it definitively, and they will try to survive away from home because returning would be a failure.

The agency worked for one year in the research of African footballers who seek in football to fulfill a childhood dream, but also to improve the living conditions of their community.

After documenting the consequences of the migratory flow for football reasons, KM GESTION SPORT found that for every African footballer who arrives at a European team, there are 20 African boys who fail to fulfill their dream.

According to data from Foot Solidaire (a non-governmental organization that worked for FIFA to know the magnitude of the problem of illegal migration of Africans who are caught by networks of traffickers, false representatives, mafias), for every African player in European leagues, there are at least 20 Africans who are in Europe for a false promise of football.

If African footballers fail in the tests, are injured or fail to adapt, “they think they are children who do not even have basic education to survive in Europe, sometimes not even the language, so they are marginalized bag meat, such as crime, drug trafficking, prostitution, because they really do not have the training and means to be able to adapt”.

KMSPORT is committed to offering all African players its represent as an opportunity to develop their football careers and help them to integrate into their new teams and live their dream as a professional player.
