"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

- 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."
