No. Our program involves exclusively friendly matches. Under FIFA regulations (such as the rules for minors under Article 19), players participating strictly in friendly matches do not require a full international transfer certificate or formal competitive registration, provided no official league or tournament matches are played. The moment the player reaches their 18th birthday, the restrictions under FIFA Article 19 immediately lift.

No one can promise that. We prepare players for professional trials; the outcome depends on the player.
