Barcelona have concluded plans to discover talented footballers in Africa that can follow the footsteps of Jay Jay Okocha, Samuel Eto and Didier Drogba and so on
The Spanish champions have agreed to allow coaches from their world-famous La Masia academy to visit a number of southern African countries as part of a sponsorship deal with an African beverage company.
The coaches will pass on their techniques to local coaches in countries including Namibia, South Africa, Botswana, Tanzania and Zambia.
It's also hoped that the new link-up will give emerging talent the opportunity to develop in the surroundings that produced the likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta.
