Ghanaian lower-division sides MSK Zilina Africa and Soccer Engineers have departed the country to participate in the ARG Nerja Cup 2026 in Nerja, Málaga, Spain.

The teams left Ghana on Saturday, November 7, and are expected to spend a week in Spain before travelling to Italy for further football programmes.

MSK Zilina Africa, who compete in the Division Two League, will be joined by their junior side, Soccer Engineers, who play in the Division Three League.

The trip marks the clubs’ second major international outing, following their participation in football programmes in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in 2022.

Having built a reputation for developing young players and creating pathways for talents to move abroad, the clubs will be hoping to use the tournament to expose another crop of promising footballers to international scouts and clubs.

The ARG Nerja Africa Elite Showcase 2026 is organised by ARG Football Agency, led by young FIFA agent Aitor Román. The agency is also an official partner of MSK Zilina Africa in Ghana.

The tournament will offer participating African talents the opportunity to test themselves against youth teams from established Spanish clubs, including UD Almería, Granada CF, Málaga CF and Atlético Madrid.

ARG Football Agency has played a role in helping several Ghanaian players secure opportunities in European football.

Among the players who have benefited from the agency's work are Kenneth Yeboah, who joined Rapid Vienna in Austria; Yussif Haruna and Issah Seidu, who moved to MSK Žilina in Slovakia; Henry Opoku, who joined Deportivo Alavés in Spain; and Solomon Gyan, who moved to MFK Bytča in Slovakia.

The agency continues to work with promising Ghanaian players, with Román regularly visiting the country to scout talent, engage local clubs and academies, and help young footballers pursue professional opportunities in Europe.
