Emersons Praisegod was one of five standout talents identified by foreign scout Diego Martins during the Unique Futbol Academy Scouting Program in Lagos in November 2023.
While representing AlKali Football Academy, he caught the eye of Martins, who played a key role in facilitating his transfer to RSC Hamsik.
Upon joining RSC Hamsik, Emersons was initially placed in the club’s U19 squad. However, his impressive performances quickly earned him a promotion to the senior team, where he will have the opportunity to play alongside former Napoli star Marek Hamsik, the club’s owner.
This is a particularly significant moment as Hamsik prepares for his retirement testimonial match.
Speaking on the transfer, Unique Futbol Academy CEO AbdulJalil Oladimeji expressed his pride in Emersons’ progress, emphasizing the academy’s commitment to developing young talents.
“Our scouting program is designed to provide aspiring footballers with a pathway to a successful career. Seeing Emersons take this step is truly rewarding,” he said.
Meanwhile, Unique Futbol Academy is already preparing for the next edition of its Scouting Program, with strong interest from top European scouts and clubs.
This initiative continues to offer young Nigerian players a platform to showcase their abilities and secure opportunities on the international stage.
