What services does ScoreInn offer to young African footballers?
ScoreInn specializes in providing holistic support to young African footballers, including educational and career planning, immigration assistance, and personal development. We focus on both their athletic training and creating backup plans to ensure a secure future in Europe, whether in football or other career paths. For young players in Africa, our first step is how to get the to Germany/Europe legally and secure a long term residence permit for them. With this, other steps in your career path becomes easier.

Parents can expect ScoreInn to provide guidance and resources that nurture their child’s talent while maintaining their cultural identity. We offer comprehensive support to help young players navigate the complexities of European football and career options, ensuring they are well-prepared for success on and off the pitch.
Why is a backup plan important for football players?
A backup plan is crucial for football players because it provides security and alternative career options if their football aspirations do not materialize. ScoreInn emphasizes the importance of having a solid plan in place to help players feel secure and focused on their development.
Do you place players directly into Bundesliga?
Typically, we start with regional/semipro clubs (4th–5th tiers) where players can adapt and prove themselves; exceptions depend on experience, reputations and readiness.
Is ScoreInn a law firm?
No. We provide high-level migration guidance and documentation support; for legal advice, we collaborate with qualified counsel.

ScoreInn Beratungs UG (haftungsbeschränkt), HRB 273452 B, Roland Straße 6 A, 14129 Berlin, Germany.
How does ScoreInn assist inactive African players in Europe?

How does ScoreInn work with football clubs and academies?
ScoreInn collaborates with football clubs and academies to identify and develop talented players from Africa. We help clubs connect with players who have strong profiles, offering a robust support system that addresses both athletic and personal development needs.
What makes ScoreInn different from other football agencies?
ScoreInn distinguishes itself through its focus on comprehensive support that goes beyond football management. We address the unique challenges faced by African players, such as immigration and career planning, and foster a collaborative environment that includes agents, clubs, and academies to ensure holistic development.
How does the Plan B work?
We map study/vocational paths via Setlinn alongside training and trials, so players progress even if football pauses.
What documents should a player prepare?
Passport, match videos, references, education/work certificates, and fitness/medical basics; our CV Builder collects these in one profile.
What is the relationship between ScoreInn and Setlinn?
ScoreInn is the football consulting & placement service, with a FIFA licensed agent; Setlinn is our partnered migration/education/work/relocation network that powers the Plan B. Practically, your ScoreInn CV Builder profile can sync to Setlinn (with consent) to map study/vocational/work/relocation routes, language schools, apprenticeships, and employer/uni contacts across Germany/Europe. We share founders and standards but operate as separate services and entities. You can use Setlinn independently. Guidance is high-level (not legal advice); licensed counsel is engaged when required.
Who leads legal and club negotiations?
Our FIFA-licensed legal lead, Paul Schmitz, handles contracts and club relations.
How does the CV Builder help?
The ScoreInn CV Builder is our guided intake and player-profile tool that turns your core details into a consistent, club-ready profile for German/EU coaches and clubs. It feeds our eligibility review and club–player matching workflow so we can make targeted introductions and organize trial windows with partner clubs. It also tracks your status from intake to feedback. With your consent, non-football fields (languages, education, skills) can also inform a parallel Plan B outline via our Setlinn network; services stay separate and opt-in.
