From Latin America and the Middle East, to Greater China and across Europe, the world’s best young players are taking their chance to go pro. And they all have one thing in mind. Getting signed. The following four players have already grabbed our attention.

Ali Malik from Saudi Arabia is a creative striker with the ability to link play and shoot with both feet. According to his coach, Ali has accuracy, a powerful shot and excellent finishing technique. All the qualities you need to get noticed. Check out his goalpost challenge video on his fan page.

Bartek Kalanski from the UK has been a goalkeeper since the age of eight. He plays for New College Football Academy and has been recognised for his agility and instincts between the posts. He believes that winners never quit, and quitters never win. Check out his video links (YouTube) and get your skills noticed.

Goran Slijepchevich from Croatia has two deadly weapons. His left and right foot. Check out his fan page for some great touch, ball control and shooting ability as a speedy striker or left winger. When he’s not playing for local side Spansko, Goran’s always improving speed and creative attacking skills.

Jasper Ham from the Netherlands is a left winger or midfielder. He plays for FC Abcoude, and his natural speed and sweet left foot has already impressed coaches. His approach to the game means total commitment. From practicing free kicks in the snow (on his Chance page) to never giving up until the last whistle. Jasper is prepared to give everything for The Chance. That’s why he’s been noticed.

The competition is still open, and if you want to be noticed, add pictures, videos and comments to your Facebook page. If you haven’t entered but you’ve got the desire to turn pro, you know what to do.
