The second edition of the Agazy International Tournament has ended at the Tema Newtown Stadium, with eight players earning opportunities for football trials in Europe following impressive performances during the competition.
The three-day tournament, held from April 21 to April 23, was organised by Agazy Homes as part of efforts to create international opportunities for young footballers and expose emerging talent to the global football market.
Teams from Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Togo, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Benin participated in the competition, which was open to players aged 18 and above.
The event also served as a major scouting platform, attracting more than 15 international sporting directors and scouts, particularly from Europe, who monitored players throughout the tournament.
At the end of the competition, eight standout players were selected for trials in Europe, with organisers hinting that another scouting exercise could be held in November.
The tournament was designed to give talented players a direct pathway to international football opportunities through competitive assessment and scouting exposure.
Spanish lead scout Matias Lizarazu praised the quality of talent displayed during the tournament.
“I am very happy with the performance of the players,” he said.
“The level is so high. It is possible that some players will go to Spain for trials. I looked at players with good abilities, physique and technical abilities,” he added.
Organisers say the tournament continues to strengthen the connection between local football development structures and international scouting networks, while giving promising players a genuine platform to advance their careers.
