Description
In Goma, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the "Future Pro League" tournament brings together young footballers under the age of 20, offering them a chance to be spotted by international clubs. The event, essential in a region affected by armed conflict for almost 30 years, attracts scouts from all over the world, including French Ligue 1 outfit AS Monaco. "I'm very happy because a few years ago I was in their shoes. [...] This kind of event also gives them dreams," explains former AS Monaco player-turned-scout Distel Zola. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
