Vanguard correspondent Mariana van Zeller investigates into the stories of the Soccer Lost Boys. Moving from Morocco to Ghana to Paris, the Soccer Lost Boys are talented African teenagers who could have been the next Drogba or Essien, but instead were duped by unscrupulous agents, charging them high fees to move abroad and dumped when the boys were not signed by teams.
I have heard stories like the ones featured Soccer Lost Boys, but I didn’t realise the magnitude of the whole situation. It’s very heartbreaking seeing hopes and dreams being snatched away whilst others cash in on the misfortunes of the situation.
