Swedish Allsvenskan club Hammarby Fotboll have touched down in Lagos for the international Justify scouting event organised by Amadehi Football Club, in partnership with Sports Solutions Management (UK), allnigeriasoccer.com understands.

The annual programme is designed to identify, develop, and export the finest young talents from Nigeria and across Africa into the European football ecosystem.

This year’s edition of the Justify kicks off on Wednesday, 10 December 2025, at the iconic Maracana Stadium in Ajegunle, Lagos, and will conclude with a grand finale on 13 December 2025.

Although numerous teams expressed interest in participating, only a little over 20 clubs from across the country secured spots. Among those expected to attract significant attention are Amadehi Football Club, Rivas Football Academy, Dreams 2 Reality FA, and RFO Academy, all poised to showcase their brightest prospects.

In addition to Hammarby, Turkish Süper Lig outfit Antalyaspor have deployed scouts to Nigeria, hoping to identify young players capable of being integrated into their developmental pathways and eventually earning professional contracts.

The arrival of these scouts has been made possible through the efforts of Sports Solutions Management (UK) and Amadehi Football Club, led by the influential duo of Uzoma Obi and Stephen Ogbeche.

Clubs from other European nations — including those in Scandinavia, Malta, and Spain — are also monitoring the event closely, with several maintaining active networks of club and agency contacts to secure emerging talents.

With its expanding reputation and growing international presence, the Justify event is expected to unearth Nigeria’s next generation of elite footballers and launch them onto the global stage.
