Alignment to aid in identifying emerging talent in SoCal
Open Soccer Alliance USA (OSA) is making waves across the Southern California soccer scene once again — not just with top-tier tournaments, but with a growing reputation as a bridge between grassroots talent and the professional game. As anticipation builds for the upcoming OSA season and tournaments, a powerful lineup of professional soccer scouts and agencies has committed to attending and collaborating, adding an unprecedented level of opportunity for young players looking to make their mark.
Among the heavy hitters partnering with OSA are several premier clubs from Mexico’s Liga MX — including Club Xolos de Tijuana, Club Necaxa, Pumas UNAM, Club Puebla, and Atlético de San Luis. These storied clubs are sending scouts to evaluate the region’s top youth and semi-pro talent, searching for the next wave of professional players both male and female. Their presence at OSA tournaments not only brings credibility but also offers a direct pipeline to professional academies, trials, and contracts south of the border.
In addition to professional club scouts, OSA has started a collaboration with NIJAR, a respected international player representation agency. NIJAR has a strong track record of identifying and mentoring young athletes with professional potential, helping them navigate the path from amateur leagues to global playing opportunities. This alliance with OSA signifies a shared mission: to uplift underrepresented players and provide a professional platform rooted in merit, performance, and exposure.
Together, these clubs and agencies reinforce OSA’s mission to level the playing field — turning local tournaments into launching pads for professional careers. As OSA continues to grow its tournament footprint, players now know they’re not just competing for trophies — they’re playing for a future.
