Human trafficking in football [Sports segment]

The Morning Call

As football’s popularity continues to grow, concerns are mounting about how young players from poor countries in Africa and Latin America are trafficked to play for European clubs.

Hungry for success and the good life that Europe offers, they are exploited by unscrupulous agents who get them to sign exploitative contracts.

On this sports segment, presenter Serge Koffi looks at the efforts being made to stop human trafficking in football.
