Olowoporoku in Nigeria makes the front page

Roc Nation Sports International (RNSI) has announced its expansion on the African football market, marking an important stage in the continuous global growth of the agency.

This strategic decision follows in -depth research and a reasonable diligence carried out in the past year, highlighting RNSI’s commitment to create an authentic and lasting impact on the African continent.

The strategy in RNSI Africa focuses on forging partnerships with key territories across the continent, and the objective is not only to feed elite football talents, but also to guarantee that these young athletes thrive in their career, to succeed at the highest level of the game and to ensure that all their dreams are realized.

This vision aims to reproduce the proven RNSI model around the world, while maintaining a shop approach to identify and develop the best young talents. The clearest proof of what this expansion on the field means is the recent recruitment of several young players from the whole continent.

These prodigies adolescents, from South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Gambia, Guinea and Zimbabwe, were carefully identified for their capacities and their commitment to and off the field.

The group of newly signed talents includes the Nigerian prodigy Ifeoluwa Olowoporoku, alongside Neo Bohloko (South Africa), Ali Umar and Joseph Narbi (Ghana), Francis Gomez (Gambia), Mamadou Diallo (Guinea), Tadiwa Chakuchichi (Zimbwe) and Siyabonga.

The other regions of the continent where RNSI operates will include Côte d’Ivoire and Zambia, with more signatures of expected players in the near future.

RNSI World Recruitment Head for Football, Nathan Campbell, said it was an incredibly exciting opportunity to celebrate this expansion project.

“We believe that Africa is a home of unexploited football potential, and our expansion here is a natural progression of our global vision”, “ He said.

“Our strategy is based on in -depth collaboration with local partners, which allows us to understand and meet the unique needs of African players, ensuring that they receive the best possible support to reach their full potential.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the new member of our RNSI football management team, director of Africa, recruitment Grant Veitch, who played a decisive role in the execution of this expansion project.”

RNSI has created an imprint for the first time in Africa in 2021 thanks to a consulting partnership with the leader African Club Mamelodi Sundowns, who succeeds to date. In addition, Emile Witboo, one of the most considered young talents in South Africa, recently signed with RNSI.

The expansion in Africa follows the passage of the RNSI to the South American market in 2023, when it acquired the TFM agency based in Brazil. This strategic acquisition brought more than 100 footballers under the aegis of the company, notably Brazilian stars such as Vinicius Jr, Gabriel Martinelli and Endrick.

Since the opening of his office based in London in 2019, Roc Nation Sports International has quickly progressed to become one of the 10 best football agencies in the world, while offering an impressive stable of world football customers, including renowned stars such as Chris Richards, Federico Dimarco, Luis Henrique, Kerolin and Malick Fofana.

The passage to Africa underlines the unshakable commitment of Roc Nation Sports International to identify and feed the next generation of football stars, and RNSI is anxious to work with partners and football consultants such as Ebanor Sports (Gambia), Olatunji Okuku (Nigeria), Oscar Guirao (Coast Ivory Coast) and Sakibu Nuhu (Ghana).
