Valueletes Enters Strategic Partnership to Strengthen Education and Career Pathways for Young African Footballers
Valueletes Sports Agency is pleased to announce a new partnership with the Global Institute of Sports, which expands the academic and professional opportunities available to players under our development system. This collaboration aligns with our mission to raise disciplined, educated and forward-thinking athletes who are equipped for long-term success on and off the pitch.
For us at Valueletes, player development has always been more than technical training. It includes personal growth, mentorship, branding, and the ability to make informed decisions throughout a football career. The new partnership strengthens this philosophy by giving our players access to flexible, globally recognised academic programmes that complement their football journey. These study pathways in areas such as sports management, coaching, business and leadership allow athletes to build knowledge while maintaining their training and competitive commitments.
Speaking on the significance of this development, Henry Eze, Lead Agent at Valueletes, said:
“This partnership represents a major leap forward in our mission at Valueletes. The future belongs to athletes who are grounded, educated and prepared. African talent deserves a platform that goes beyond the pitch, and we are proud to open that door for our players. It is not just about building careers — it is about building futures.”

“We are intentional about producing well-rounded players. This partnership supports that vision by pairing football development with quality education. It ensures our athletes grow in capacity, confidence and clarity about the paths available to them in the global sports industry.”
This initiative reflects Valueletes’ continuous commitment to raising athletes who embody discipline, purpose and excellence. By integrating football development with academic progression, we are creating an environment where players can pursue their sporting ambitions while preparing for life beyond the game.
As we continue to invest in young talent across Africa, this partnership represents another important step in shaping players who understand their value, appreciate responsibility and are ready to make meaningful impact within the world of sports.an a career — we are giving them a future they can build with confidence. African players deserve this kind of holistic support.”
Edidiong Inyang, Administrative Manager at Valueletes, emphasised the alignment of vision between both organisations:
“We are very intentional about raising well-rounded athletes. This partnership strengthens that commitment by ensuring our players grow academically while building their football careers. It is about preparing them for leadership, responsibility and long-term success in and out of the game.”
