Football's African Slave Trade 

the diversity of this channel in terms of the types of content it covers is beyond amazing...

No 3 hour intro, no trying to get me to buy stuff and no shit music. To the point and extremely informative. Great channel. 👍

This is the video I asked for, perfect revelation of what's happening, is really really sad people can do this things to teenagers, I hope this changes as soon as possible, Thanks Tifo.

This video should go viral. People who trade money for dreams and lives for an individual don't deserve to live. Who knows how many Essien, Mikel, Drogba and Mane are lost like these everyday? Maybe they wouldn't have been stars but they could atleast live a better life and see their parents. Thanks Tifo as always for amazing content. Hope FIFA and UN put an end to this more sooner than later.

This is heartbreaking . No one talks about it .

I love Tifo...from Ghana 🇬🇭

Im extremely proud of what you guys have become since the beginning of the channel . This is what make me love football even more, knowing people like yourselves challenge any taboos within it.

I don't like seeing this stuff but it is so important that we all do see it. Really good video Tifo and happy you never shy away from the bad things despite the potentially better profits sticking to just the glamorous stuff. Please keep it up so we can keep watching!

this is the dark side of football. agents playing with people's life, like a commodity, for their own benefit. fifa should be more stringent. :(

On & Off pitch issues is why I love Tifo

I personally know a young man that was mistakenly brought to Portugal to play football from Guinea and when the club was not interested he was left alone in Portugal with no money and no mean to return home. Fortunately for him he also had a Portuguese passport and he managed to enlist in the Portuguese army and while receiving wages he has shelter and food. And he's actually happy for being here. Somehow his story ended up alright. There are a lot of young man that don't have that luck.

This is what make Tifo different from other channels. Tifo talks about more than just football. Tifo talks about the other sides of the game that we could have never known before. Great work !

Can you please do a tribute on the story of Leicester City's owner?

Amazing video. Excellent work highlighting the problem and great research work! Good stuff!

Excellent video as always, Tifo!

This is a good video, I didn’t know this was a problem. It’s good that you made people aware of this.

Africa is always on the receiving end of every negative thing in this world. Human trafficking, bad governance, corruption, slavery, neo-colonialism. its SAD

Imagine Tifo doing investigative journalism with actual video footage. Great work guys.

Thank you for this video Tifo. That’s why in my country Cameroon youths with great potential are scared of having a trial in any foreign country because of the actions carried out by some of these people who call themselves agents. It’s sad

The level of the work you put in to every video, every day is astounding.. great video! 👍🏻

Salute to your you , your RU-vid channel is a phenomenon. I just want to know your research process and how come you manage to select such reverse and wide variety of topics related to football. You've opened my eyes . I never thought of such phenomenon actually existed

Superb stuff Tifo! Hope this increases the awareness regarding the plight of the ones fallen by the wayside!

Another video looking at one of the many overlooked issues in football. Keep up the good work Tifo!

Ive been binging alot of your videos, but this one really got me. You got my damn subscription

Tifo just being Tifo with these brilliant and educational videos, focusing on more important things... Things happening in the shadows of the most powerful clubs, players and owners... Things happening in football's own backyard, in our backyard. Thank you Tifo. ❤️⚽🌍

And it’s so much worse in Asia. I’ve lived in Shanghai and Manila over the last couple of years and there are so many 18-23 year old African lads promised the dream by dodgy agents. The kids and their families pay the agent £5k to sort everything out, which is often the total savings of a village or community, and as the video says, the agent then leaves them when they arrive in a foreign city thousands of miles away with no savings or money to get back home. Horrible stuff and they’re often forced into theft or selling drugs to survive.

What a channel. The scope of your investigations and deep dives is fantastic. Keep it up, lads.

Tifo Football, your videos never fail me!! As having the game a part of my life since I was 17..football is truly a way of life...your videos not only are astonishing but very well detailed to understand the nature of the game, styles and philosophy’s, footballers, money corruptions, politics being part of football, the beauty and the dark side of the game...your videos are truly granting me a very strong understanding towards the world of football...and that the more I see these videos of yours..it really makes me explore more deeply in the nature of football..and that these football videos of yours really bring out the philosopher out of me towards the world of football understanding what is good and bad...I just subscribe to you and that I really encourage you to make more of these videos...the one where you talk about slavery in European football really made me realize that there is still European colonization in a way...I’m highly in love with your guys’d work

Great video. The Away Game by Sebastian Abbott was my introduction to this concept. Thank you for all you produce.

Thank you for alerting us to some of the problems in world football. I had never heard of this issue before, very sad for the families involved but good to hear organisations such as Foot Solidaire are working to stop this from happening.

Please do the Leicester owner who passed away this weekend

Tifo always puts so much time and hard work in their videos. Keep it up!

You have earned a new subscriber. Best football channel on any/all media. Incredible work.

what an eye opening video just bought the book try and educate myself on this horrific topic as much as possible what a terrible state of affairs these kids are put into heartbreaking truly

This has become my favourite channel well done

Am a Cameroonian 🇨🇲. Africa and the world knows our love for the game is beyond the world. we got scammers in the name of agents in every single town. Love your channel from Bamenda 🇨🇲 Cameroon

this channel is on another level...thank you

We need a video about Vichai's impact on Leicester city as a priority, and no one better to do that than you guys, I'm sure you'll do him justice. With that said, let me praise you not only for the quality of your content but also for the broad selection of topics around football you cover. I swear you learn about everything in the world *through* football when watching your videos. Your bibliography is on point and your coverage on hard topics such as this is impartial and second to none. Thanks for the hard work guys, one day I'll tell people I knew about your channel ever since it was a small uMaxIt channel ran by some guys about my age or younger. Excellent coverage.

Brilliant videos. Thank you guys

Hit it out of the park again Tifo Stories like these need more exposure

Great video. Can you do an update to Patrick Viera's tactics at Nice?

Such a great video, I get so confused when teens who shine in the U17 world cup sign for teams in the lower leagues of eastern European football. Greedy agents.

Great work, will read the book. I suggest you do a video about Mexico's multi club ownership and players rights, which are owned by clubs like in the 1980's and FIFA turns the other way.

Tifo, because of you, i still got faith in the humanity.

This is extremely saddening. I had no idea about this and I thank you and the channel to enlightening me to the dark side of football. Would very much appreciate more of this kind of content in between the already awesome stuff you guys are making. Keep up the good work!

Thank you Tifo for doing this. I love the game, but this is what is important. ❤

Thank you Tifo♥️ I love your videos and contents ♥️👏🙏 Thank you for the enlightenment

It's simple, I see a Tifo video... I watch. It's that simple

Amazing piece. Love it . im going to get that book too

Great video. Love tifo

How briliantlly narrated,how amazingly researched...beautiful

This channel answers the hard questions that no one else seems to talk about.

you are a real sport's journalist. I really admire your channel and your principals to not only talk about the pretty side of the sport and also de ugly side, with extremely well research! well done!

Tifo is a special channel. Excellent video, terrifying reality. Thank you.

I've really enjoyed your shift towards videos like this recently, another excellent insight, keep it up.

Thanks Tifo u hv saved lives....we r those young boys in Africa tht only dream...

Great content as usual.

Honestly, you guys are making the best football content on the internet hands down. This is a horrific story that I imagine very few people who watch the game know much about. Thank you for making this.

This is the stuff i subscribed for, thank you so much for caring about football and not hiding such acts. Please do more for football and speak against such. You can never be thanked enough.

Tifo Football's work is truly outstanding.

Love this channel. Any chance you could do a video on Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and his impact at Leicester as a tribute ?

this is so relevant . thanks for making this vid

Tifo is really becoming the peak of football journalism. Telling the untold story, the unheard story.

Great content as usual. Just a small remark Egypt won the African Cup of Nations 1998 not Cameroon as mentioned

Bone chilling... sigh oh Africa

Tifo is my favorite channel. I can't say much more than the rest of the subs already have. If I wanted to create a better channel with my money, friends and talent, I couldn't. Thanks for your stunning quality, diversity, and industry!

thank you for this video Tifo

Yet another great video Tifo. I just want to point out that Cameroon won 2000 and 2002; 98 was Egypt.

The only channel who talks about the problems and history Unlike other talking about players private life and challenges or other

Another great informative video, will definitely order that book now.

Thank you for the insightful video Tito Football. It's so awful to hear that this is going on in Modern Football. I hope FAs and others can come together to fight this so that one day, an African nation can lift a World Cup trophy for the glory of their continent.

I would 100% recommend reading the Hawkins book referenced at the end of this video. There is a lot more to this than immediately meets the eye.

I was aware of this thing but didn't know the details. Thanks tifo!

The best but also the saddest video way before the video about Lily Parr :'(

Tifo truly one of the best football channels around... Telling very important stories

Wow, thank you for bringing this matter into the light!

I advise everyone here to get their hands on a copy of "Inside Football's Slave Trade" by Ed Hawkins, great read...confirmed a lot of what I've witnessed with my own eyes living in Africa. Shameful really, a lot of the crooks are actually Africans smh.

Great channel!

Holy shit! I had no idea this was happening. Great video

So much in 4:30 mins. incredible work by the tifo team

Heartbreaking :(

This is disgustingly shocking!! And nothing is being done to put a stop to this crime of humanity!!! Thank you for sharing this with us.

Sad to know. However, another great video by TIFO!

ANOTHER AMAZING PIECE.

I lot of people wonder why Sadio Mane's parents were not supportive of his footballing dreams. The video right here explains why Mane's parents encouraged him to stay home and become a teacher. Of course, he got into a legitimate football academy with genuine connections to Europe. But it could have all gone so horribly wrong!

Extremely eye-opening!

Please Do a video about Markku Kanerva’s Finland

More on this subject, please.

That is terribly sad.

Thanks for making this video, I don't think many people understand this. I didn't

This is absolutely shocking thank you TIFO for this well explained video

I'm so glad I found this channel.... I've been binging on your videos like crazy!

This should go viral

Coming from Sudan and having seen this happen, it's really refreshing seeing people caring about this problem.

As always, well done boys!

I watched this channel way before it was popular. I had to write it.

Would love to see video about Leicester City president.. may his soul rest in peace

Can you do a video on eintracht Frankfurt tactics

Always waiting for tifo next video.... Please hire me .... I want to work with you

I love this channel, you conduct excellent research. However, Cameroon did not win the African nations cup in 1998, Egypt did.Please Tifo, we would love to see more work on African football. Regards from Nigeria, Keep up the great work!
