A remarkable story of excellence and determination is emerging from Benue State, as Mr. Tersoo Alexander Chinyam—a native of Turan, Kwande Local Government Area—continues to shine on the global football scene. Now based in the United Kingdom, Mr. Chinyam stands as the only FIFA-licensed football agent originating from Benue State, a milestone rarely achieved across Nigeria’s North Central region.
As Founder and Lead Agent of Sportsfame, a fast-growing international sports agency with operations spanning England, Europe, and North America, Mr. Chinyam has dedicated his skills to shaping the careers of young footballers. Sportsfame offers player and coach representation, international transfers, career management and development, and global sports marketing services.
Despite being away from Nigeria for over two decades, his heart firmly remains at home. He has channelled his success into empowerment initiatives for promising talent from Benue and beyond.
“As a young son of the soil in the diaspora, contributing to the developmental growth of Benue through sponsorship of young, up-and-coming potential stars is my way of giving back,” he stated. “As a licensed football agent for FIFA, Europe, and America, I feel privileged to use my position to uplift the next generation.”
Recently, he made a significant impact by sponsoring a five-day scouting programme with Emmyjeks Football Academy in Abuja—an initiative that uncovered new football prospects and opened pathways for growth.
The timing could not be better. With Lobi Stars FC undergoing important restructuring, experts believe Mr. Chinyam could play a pivotal role in strengthening the club’s brand internationally, forging partnerships, and promoting Benue-grown talent on the European stage.
Industry watchers say he has the potential to join the ranks of renowned super-agents like Jorge Mendes, Jonathan Barnett, and Pere Guardiola—a dream he pursues with clear focus and humility.
From his beginnings in Turan to his expanding influence abroad, Mr. Tersoo Alexander Chinyam represents the promise of a new era for sports advancement in Benue State—one where talent meets opportunity and global success becomes a reality.
Mr. Chinyam’s continued achievements reflect his unwavering commitment to youth empowerment and community development. His journey stands as an inspiration to Benue sons and daughters everywhere.
