In this episode of Sportsplaining, we delve into the realities of African kids pursuing their dream of playing football in Europe. With 15,000 children falling victim to human trafficking through the football industry each year, we discuss how this happens. 
The challenges faced by African footballers who also play in Europe are explored. While success stories like Salah exist, the reality is that most African footballers live in poor conditions and are still exploited in foreign countries.
The challenges faced by African footballers in pursuit of their dreams of playing in Europe are numerous and daunting, but we discuss the potential solutions to these issues.
