The tournament will be staged at Union Park, University of Ghana, Legon, running across two phases — January 5 to 7 and January 9 to 12, 2026. Over the course of the week, the venue is expected to transform into a hub of raw talent, ambition and opportunity as some of Ghana’s finest young footballers take centre stage.
Eight selected youth teams from different parts of the country will compete, with more than 120 players between the ages of 16 and 21 expected to feature. For many of these youngsters, it will be more than just another tournament; it is a rare chance to perform in front of decision-makers who could shape their professional futures.
What truly elevates the CCA Elite Scouting Tournament above the ordinary is the confirmed presence of renowned international scouts and FIFA representatives. These officials will not only observe matches but also interact with players and team officials throughout the event, offering an authentic professional scouting environment rarely seen at youth level in Ghana.
Organisers say the tournament is structured to close the long-standing gap between grassroots football and global professional opportunities. With Ghana already known for producing elite football talent, the competition is expected to further strengthen the country’s reputation as a reliable pipeline for the international football market.
Club Consult Africa Limited has also extended invitations to media houses across print, broadcast and digital platforms, encouraging extensive coverage of the tournament. According to the organisers, media visibility will amplify the profiles of standout players while projecting Ghana’s youth football ecosystem onto the global stage.
