Africa Showcase is live July 10 - 12 in Nairobi, Kenya
WORLD WIDE SCHOLARSHIPS AND INSIDER EXPOSURE PARTNER TO CREATE AFRICA’S FIRST NCAA‑CERTIFIED SHOWCASE
NAIROBI, KENYA — World Wide Scholarships (WWS) and U.S.‑based Insider Exposure LLC have officially partnered to deliver Africa’s first NCAA‑certified basketball showcase, marking a historic milestone for the continent’s athlete‑development landscape and global recruitment visibility.
This groundbreaking event introduces a new era of compliance, credibility, and structured opportunity for African youth athletes — ensuring that talent across the continent is evaluated under official NCAA standards for the first time in history.
A Message from Munya Maraire, CEO of World Wide Scholarships
“As Africa, we need pathways that are consistent. Sadly, the journey of an African talent is often disjointed and facilitated in ways that leave the athlete indebted or not in control of their destiny.
The relationship with Insider Exposure brings the best opportunities right to the doorstep of Africa — in a way that signifies compliance and credibility. By being the first recognized showcase in history with NCAA certification, Africa’s youth are guaranteed that if they have what it takes, they can make it through our platform.”
WWS: Africa’s Only NCAA‑Approved Recruiting Service
World Wide Scholarships is the only NCAA‑approved recruiting service in Africa in both basketball and football, giving the organization unmatched legitimacy and responsibility in shaping Africa’s athlete‑development future.
This certification ensures that every athlete evaluated through WWS is assessed under official NCAA standards — a level of compliance no other African organization holds.
Access for USA‑Based Coaches
To ensure full NCAA compliance and accessibility for American college coaches, WWS has created a three‑tiered access system:
• Live Stream Access — NCAA‑approved streaming platform for real‑time evaluation.
• Post‑Event Video Library — full game footage and athlete evaluations available after the event.
• In‑Person Attendance — coaches attending in Nairobi will receive an on‑site coaches package including schedules, rosters, athlete data, and guided support.
This structure ensures that every NCAA coach — regardless of location — can evaluate African talent fairly, transparently, and within NCAA rules.
This year will be exciting.
How to Register
Africa is vast — few truly grasp its size. WWS has designed a registration system that ensures every athlete, regardless of geography, has a fair and open pathway into the showcase.
Online Portal Submission
Athletes may submit:
• Academic grades or transcripts
• A 90‑second talent video
This provides a direct, accessible channel for evaluation.
School Invitations
WWS has issued direct invitations to top schools across Africa to nominate their best players aged 14–21. These institutions act as verified talent partners.
Athlete Categories
Players will be grouped into three NCAA‑aligned categories:
• U‑16
• High School Graduates
• College Transfers
This ensures fair competition and accurate evaluation.
Empowering Africa’s Youth
The NCAA‑certified Africa Showcase guarantees that young athletes — boys and girls — are evaluated transparently, fairly, and with direct access to college coaches and verified recruitment pathways.
This initiative represents a turning point for African sports, transforming fragmented systems into structured, sustainable pipelines for global success.
