Rosta is Nigerian sport's verification infrastructure. Whether you're an athlete, agent, scout, or community member — this is how it works for you.
Rosta is free for athletes. Always. Here is exactly what happens when you join.
Register in under 5 minutes. Name, sport, position, club, level, state, and a bio in your own words. Add a link to footage — YouTube, Google Drive, Instagram, whatever you have. You don't need to be professional to join. Grassroots athletes are exactly who Rosta is built for.
Free. Always.Set your profile to Public (anyone can see it), Link Only (only people with your direct link), or Private (only you). You decide who sees your career. Change it anytime.
You are in controlYour Rosta Score is a number from 0–100 measuring how complete and verified your profile is. Adding footage, linking your club, and completing your bio all increase your score. A higher score means scouts can find you more easily. It is not a rating of your ability — it is a measure of how much scouts can verify about you.
Higher score = more visibilityOnly verified agents can send you a connection request. When one does, you see their full verified profile — their name, agency, FIFA licence number, the sports they work in, and their message. You accept or decline. If you accept, your contact details are shared. If you decline, the request is archived and you can reconsider later.
No cold calls. No intermediaries.Before you sign anything: run the commission calculator (the FIFA cap is 5% — most Nigerian athletes are charged 10–20%), check your agent's FIFA licence number, read the rights guide, and use the pre-signing checklist. All free. All designed for athletes without lawyers.
