THE CHANCE

The Chance kicked off with Pep Guardiola selecting the first young player for the Spanish Finals. A series of first finds ensued across the world, with star scouts including Rio Ferdinand and Laurent Blanc picking out their favourites and sending them through to National Finals.

More than 31,000 teams then flocked to The Chance Facebook app to register and start creating a buzz to catch our attention. The Nike scouts watched young players across 55 countries and selected the very best for National Finals, where they went head-to-head to win the right to represent their country at the Global Finals in Barcelona.

Just 100 players made it through to Global Finals, where they put their game on the line to compete for 16 places on a once-in-a-lifetime training tour.
