FTBLRLIFE Announces Inaugural African Player Trials in Kenya

In a significant step toward creating transparent pathways for talented young footballers, FTBLRLIFE and New Hera Interconnection are proud to announce our first official player trials in Kenya this July.

Breaking New Ground for African Talent

These landmark trials represent the first tangible outcome of our strategic partnership with New Hera Interconnection, designed to connect deserving players with genuine opportunities both locally and internationally.

     

"This initiative embodies exactly why we created the FTBLRLIFE global community," explains David Clarke, Founder of FTBLRLIFE. "By organizing these trials in a transparent, structured way, we're demonstrating how our platform can bridge the gap between talented players and legitimate opportunities. This isn't about making empty promises – it's about creating real pathways for players who might otherwise remain undiscovered."

"What sets these trials apart is our commitment to transparency and genuine opportunity," says Marti Torres, CEO of New Hera Interconnection. "Too often, young African players face exploitation or false promises. By partnering with FTBLRLIFE, we're creating a structured pathway with legitimate connections to schools and clubs. This is about changing lives through football in a responsible, sustainable way."

Rewards for Excellence

The top three performers at each trial will receive:

  • FTBLRLIFE Foundation Ball
  • New pair of football boots
  • Enhanced visibility through our global platform

These rewards represent our commitment to not just identifying talent, but supporting its development with tangible resources.

The Bigger Picture

These trials represent just the beginning of our efforts to organize, support, and bring visibility to grassroots football globally. By creating a structured community where players, coaches, and academies can connect, we're building the foundation for a more equitable football ecosystem.

"As we grow and organize our community, we can use our collective voice to advocate for our members and grassroots football in general," Clarke emphasizes. "This is about more than just finding the next star – it's about creating systems that benefit all participants in the beautiful game, regardless of their economic circumstances or geographic location."

Future Opportunities

These Kenya trials mark just the beginning of our global initiative. Future trials are already being planned for additional locations, with details to be announced through the FTBLRLIFE platform.

Players, coaches, and academies are encouraged to create complete profiles now to ensure consideration for upcoming opportunities. The more comprehensive your profile, the better your chances of being selected for these exclusive events.

"We're building something truly transformative," Torres concludes. "By combining FTBLRLIFE's community platform with our expertise in player development pathways, we're creating opportunities that simply didn't exist before. These trials are just the first step in what will become a global movement to make football truly accessible to all."
