@ poster

I must be honest with you, it is to late to play professional footbal at your age. All you can play now is jeun jeun (chop chop). Dream of becoming a professional footballer starts from the age of 5 - 7 years. How do u want to start now @ 23yrs? My guy, choose another profession, i will suggest handball or baseball since they all have to do with ball.

@poster
Dont let what people say here bring your desire down, If you are really 23, you still have many football years ahead of you. Tell us the country where u live and i will see what i can tell you about where and how to begin.

Hmm well @ the poster, NEVER SAY NEVER! I think what the other posters are highlighting is that it may be harder for u to get to that level given the fact that a lot of the key players are young. Keep trying but be sure not to put all of your eggs in one basket and have a PLAN B- (Or C,D, E lol) just in case your soccer dream does not come true! Best of luck!

My brother as the first poster said, start by reducing your age to 13-14 years, avoid bear bear  Wink

Its still early my brother, footballers reduce more than ten years from their real age.

Start practicing, just be focused, determined and work diligently towards your ambition.
Come to NAAVY BARRACKS, MOBIL ROAD, APAPA, LAGOS. OR MARACCANA FIELD AJEGUNLE, geniune football business is really going on there. Boys always travel to all parts of the world.

just pray hard my man  Wink

Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.

Just follow that quote and everything will be fine with a little bit of luck I guess.

Starting a football carreer at 23 is like deciding to study medicine without a schoool leaving certificate and hoping that the provost will have mercy on you. Even if you reduce you age to 13, i am sure it will only take some hi tech analysis to reveal the truth, at 23 you are already a man. maybe you should get a coaching badge and help the younger ones and help kids that have similar dreams.

You are already three years older than Fabregas and he has been in the business for over 10 years.

I don't mean to dampen your spirit

23 is not too old but, like the first guy said, you will have to reduce your age. And I'm not trying to be funny. If you put your amended age at say 16-18 and actually play brilliantly then you have a chance. All our Super Eagles must have started professional football around your age too but they claimed to be 17 or 18. I wish you all the best!

by the time Bartholomew ogbeche was appearing at the 2002 world cup as a 17yr old, he was actually 25 and he is still playing pro soccer in Europe, so at 23, you still have a chance, but you need to be in a hurry to get noticed by scouts. try football challenge by fash, its a talent hunt/ tv reality show which is aimed at identifying and exposing Nigerian grown soccer talents to the European scene, you never can tell.i can bet that that  program will throw up at least one super eagles  future regular. you can get the registration scratch card for 3k at any oceanic bank branch near you. good luck
