⚠️ Warning to Football Federations: Fraudulent Conduct by Team Elite Pro

World Wide Scholarships (WWS), Africa’s leading sports development and athlete representation organization, has officially terminated its relationship with FIFA match agent Christian Robert Hahn and his company, Team Elite Pro. This decision follows verified instances of forged documentation and misrepresentation in attempts to conduct business in Guinea-Bissau and South Africa.

•⁠ ⁠These actions were aimed at securing access to players and federations under false pretenses.

•⁠ ⁠All evidence has been submitted to FIFA President Gianni Infantino and FIFA’s legal department for formal investigation.

🚫 Public Advisory

All football agencies, coaches, clubs, and federations are strongly warned against engaging with Team Elite Pro or Christian Robert Hahn. Their conduct constitutes a breach of international football ethics and may expose partners to legal and reputational risk.

🎙️ Statement from WWS CEO Munya Maraire

⁠“Mr. Hahn and Team Elite Pro have failed to uphold their contractual obligations and have acted in ways that contradict our core values. We will not allow individuals who lack ethical grounding to undermine the progress we’ve made. Africa’s time is now, and we are determined to work with reputable international representatives who genuinely wish to uplift our young athletes. Cuurently several young athletes have been affected through empty promises!"
