In Human history, the recreative value obtained in leisure and sports activities have played a very important social role of not only entertaining us but improve and maintain our physical conditions, while at the same time sports promotes community inclusions. Legend has it that almost 3000 years ago Heracles, son of Zeus and the mortal woman Alcmene, founded the Games, which by the end of the 6th century B.C had become the most famous of all Greek sporting festivals.

However, with the progression of time, sports like any other human activity started to change with modern times from recreative festivals sports to a fully commercialized activity. Sports is now a lucrative business where individual athletes become professional in various sports discipline. Professional teams set up to compete in big-money tournaments, individual athletes hire the services of managers, sports clubs hire agents and scouts to spot the best talents, in fact collectively by the end of 2019 sports glob[1]ally was estimated to be valued at US $ 602 Billion worth.

Whenever an opportunity of making profits emerges in an industry, this opportunity attracts actors who operate in the open and unlicensed actors who work outside the established norms. Therefore, to address the problem of human trafficking through football'. in the sports industry which arises as consequences of the illegal activities done in the name of the beautiful game of sports by unlicensed and unregulated actors who are taking advantage of vulnerable West African citizens to make profits. It is reported that these unscrupulous sports agents are responsible for an estimated 15,000 children being trafficked from West Africa to Europe for football alone.
