Hi guys, my friend Kenneth needs help, he his almost falling into depression. Kenneth wants to be a professional footballer but he's 24 and he'll be 25 October 29. He wants to know if he can still have a career in professional football, and what are the ways to go about it. The highest age for academy is 23, please help out with trials and advise. Thanks

This is very funny because age is the last thing a typical Nigerian footballer would be worrying about. I doubt if your friend is good.

If yhu want to make it inside life. I repeat inside life. Your age is just 15. Ask Taye Taiwo.

In 2001, while Femi Opabunmi (being the 1st child)was representing Nigeria at the U17 World Cup in Spain, his younger brother (3rd born) was celebrating his 25th birthday here in Nigeria...Isn't our God great? grin grin grin grin grin

My bro, if you are as good as u are trying to paint yourself...sorry, if ur friend is as good as u are trying to paint him, he has nothing to worry about...let him walk up to any of those 1st class football academies and ask for a trial to prove himself...it is even the Academy coordinator that would help him adjust his age on his birth certificate if he impresses him.

What a misconception. Vardy was playing lower league football not that he started at 25!

Jamie Vardy is not a Nigerian. You know the condition of your country. So say it the way it is

Don't compare him and Jamie Vardy jaree. The environment and structure matters a lot. Vardy being English and playing in England made his rise to stardom swift. For an average Nigerian, It'd take not less than 3-5 years to gain grounds here before even thinking about abroad.

I won't advice him to quit because of his age because everyone's career path can't be same. He should maybe reduce his age and join an academy or maybe try work out any pro football club here in Nigeria and start from there. He should also be trying out other things outside football incase it doesn't work out. It's sad the structure here doesn't let talents thrive, but God dey

Stop it! Vardy is English/British and that made it easy for him. If your friend wants to play and end up in NPL, he can start now. There are other vocational things he can do and still live well in naija.

Yeap. Jamie Vardy was playing for Fleetwood Town and doubling as a factory worker at around that age.

See where he is now. cool


If he is good he can still make it.

Though making it as a footballer for anyone regardless of age is a case of, except the Lord builds a house...

God has no business there.Hardwork and talent does.God can't make a coach sign a mediocre player just to prove a point.

I have dreams of playing professional football also, I'm 23 already and the fact that its so difficult here in Nigeria kills the dream everytime.

I always think I need to go out, but o have no support.

That is a fvcking lie.

Vardy has been playing since sixteen, turned first-team player at 20

That you saw him at Leicester at age 25 does not mean he started pro football at that age.

That was simply when he came into limelight
