Wednesday, Nov 5 2025

In its continuous pursuit of connecting continents through football, The Gate® officially announces the January 2026 Scouting Zone, expanding its focus to Brazil, Colombia, Algeria, and Egypt — four strategic nations known for their strong football heritage and promising talent pools.

This initiative reflects The Gate’s commitment to discovering, guiding, and empowering young footballers beyond geographical borders. Through strategic partnerships and on-ground scouting collaborations, The Gate continues to identify emerging players whose potential aligns with international standards of performance and professionalism.

“It’s not just about finding players — it’s about building bridges of opportunity,” said Coach Jaino Matos, Founder and FIFA-verified mentor at The Gate®.
“Every region holds a story of passion, talent, and ambition. Our mission is to turn that potential into purpose and professional growth.”

A Global Vision for Local Talent

The selected countries — Brazil, Colombia, Algeria, and Egypt — represent football cultures rich in creativity, resilience, and tactical intelligence. The Gate’s presence in these regions signifies more than just scouting; it’s an effort to integrate development, mentorship, and international exposure into a unified football ecosystem.

Building Pathways for the Next Generation

Through its Football Business Solutions and Career Management programs, The Gate bridges players, clubs, and global networks, creating a clear pathway from grassroots development to professional stages.
Each scouting zone is designed not only to evaluate technical abilities but also to assess mindset, adaptability, and long-term potential — key factors in building sustainable football careers.

As the football landscape continues to evolve, THE GATE® remains focused on its mission:
to connect talent, faith, and purpose — and to open gates of opportunity for the next generation of world-class players.
