Flamengo is intensifying its efforts to identify African talents for its youth categories, seeking to discover them before European clubs even notice them. In this context, Nigerians Shola and Hassan have stood out as brilliant promises. Playing for Flamengo's Under-20s, they have impressed with their performance in the Under-20 Brasileirão.
Since the start of the competition, Shola and Hassan have been constant presences as starters in the team, demonstrating skill and determination in field. In four matches played so far, they have directly contributed to six of the eight goals scored by Flamengo, being fundamental players in the attack. Shola has accumulated three assists, in addition to a goal scored, while Hassan has already scored twice.
Hassan Haruna, who arrived at Flamengo in March this year on loan from XV de Piracicaba, has been particularly inspired by success of his compatriot Shola. Quickly adapting to Mais Querido's style of play, the striker shows a promising rise in Brazilian football.
In turn, Shola arrived at Flamengo in May 2023, bringing with him great expectations. Previously, the player had played for Remo Stars in his home country, establishing a promising path for other Nigerian talents to follow. His arrival not only strengthened Flamengo's Under-20 squad, but also opened doors to new international recruitment opportunities for the club.
This focus on identifying and developing African talent shows an innovative strategy on the part of Flamengo, seeking to secure young talents for the future. With Shola and Hassan leading the way, Flamengo demonstrates its determination to build a solid foundation while continuing to seek new opportunities for growth and success.
