Youth Football Showcase Kicks Off with High-Scoring Matches

The quest for Sierra Leone's next international football star is officially underway. The K&K Football Academy and D’Alessandro Scouting Tournament launched its inaugural day with an impressive display of talent, drawing the attention of international scouts and local football aficionados.

The opening day fixtures delivered a dynamic blend of technical precision and intense competition, as young prospects vied for success and the rare opportunity to be noticed by international intermediaries.

The tournament began with three compelling matches:

• SLIFA FC demonstrated their pedigree by securing a clinical 2–1 victory over the combined JK Academy/Black Man Warriors side.

• Academie Atouga Foot delivered the most dominant performance, routing Abacha City FC 3–1 to establish themselves as early frontrunners.

• In a closely fought contest, Star Sport Academy showed composure to edge out Wilberforce Strikers with a narrow 2–1 win.

  
  

The partnership with D’Alessandro Scouting elevates this competition beyond a simple trophy hunt, serving as a critical platform for player identification and potential professional advancement abroad. The action continues tomorrow, with teams seeking to either solidify their position or recover ground in the eyes of the scouts.
