Former football stars, coaches, club owners, scouts, and other important figures in Nigerian football will gather for the FutbolConect Talent and Club Growth Development Summit 2026. This event is set for Monday, August 31, at the Oriental Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos.
The summit carries the theme, “From Grassroots to Stardom.” It will focus on finding new talent, improving clubs, and creating lasting opportunities in the football industry.
FutbolConect is building a network that connects players, clubs, academies, and football professionals across different countries. The summit aims to promote discussions about access, visibility, and growth for African football talent.
The organisers say the event will bring together club owners, scouts, agents, coaches, players, academy representatives, investors, and sponsors. They will look at practical ways to strengthen the football system.
Topics discussed at the summit will center on Connect, Register, Earn, and Grow. The organisers believe these themes align with FutbolConect’s main goal of creating a better-connected and financially sound pathway for players and clubs.
Also attending will be FIFA-licensed intermediaries, club representatives, and officials from the Nigeria Football Federation, Nigeria National League, and Nationwide League One.
The gathering is expected to include networking and important talks on the future of football development in Nigeria. There will be a special focus on finding young talent, club growth, and helping young players gain exposure beyond Nigeria.
