By Thandisizwe Mgudlwa
CAPE TOWN/South Africa: V Agency, the Hungary-based global sports and football brand, is making significant strides in promoting football and education worldwide with a unique approach to talent development and scouting.
This February 2025, V Agency hosted a landmark Football & Education Integration Workshop in Abuja, Nigeria, aimed at revolutionizing football scouting through education and technology. The workshop brought together key stakeholders, including Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Gbenga Elegbeleye, Chairman of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL25), and Lorand Endreffy, the Ambassador of Hungary to Nigeria, along with industry experts and club representatives.
V Agency’s CEO, Alexandra Vegh, delivered a keynote speech that highlighted the critical role education and technology play in shaping the future of Nigerian football. “At V Agency, our mission is to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity,” Vegh said. “We aim to provide aspiring scouts and football professionals with the knowledge, skills, and industry connections needed to succeed.”
A key milestone for V Agency’s efforts is its partnership with Be Your Best Team, a revolutionary platform designed to enhance football players’ cognitive abilities. The platform, based on advanced neuroscience research, offers virtual simulations to improve players’ decision-making skills on the pitch. Experts believe the platform’s ability to develop players’ cognitive functions will give them a significant edge in real-game situations.
V Agency also announced its commitment to supporting young individuals passionate about sports by providing world-class educational programs, focusing on player scouting, video analysis, talent development, and sports management. The agency aims to make education accessible to remote areas, creating opportunities for talented athletes to surpass their potential.
As part of this mission, V Agency will soon launch its “Introduction to International Football Scouting” course, designed to equip aspiring football scouts with the essential skills for both youth and professional scouting, using modern data-driven methods.
The agency has already forged collaborations with notable figures in football, including Kristiyan Nikolov, Sporting Director of PFC Septemvri Sofia; Toni Bilandzis, Chief Scout of FK Sarajevo; Márk Makrai, Head Scout of ZTE FC Zalaegerszeg; and Premier League legend William Gallas, former captain of Arsenal and Chelsea.
With these initiatives, V Agency is taking major steps to empower the next generation of football professionals in Nigeria and beyond.
