Sivera Manfred, a 17-year-old forward who plays for DR Elia Ngurare Football Club, is among the players selected during the Green World Soccer Links trials held in Rundu in partnership with Pro-Soccer Scout Netherlands.

Manfred is a left-footed goal poacher known for his ability to trouble defenders and find scoring opportunities in front of goal. His eye for goal was evident at the 2026 Nkurenkuru Governor’s Cup, where he finished as the tournament’s top scorer.

The young forward has also been selected for Higherlights video profiling, scheduled to take place in Windhoek next month. The process will give him an opportunity to showcase his footballing abilities through video footage.

Video profiling can play an important role in a young player’s career by helping expose their talent to a wider audience, including scouts and representatives of professional clubs. Such footage can be shared with football platforms and scouting networks, potentially creating opportunities for players to attract interest from clubs in Europe and other parts of the world.

For Manfred, the upcoming profiling presents an opportunity to showcase his qualities as he looks to take the next step in his football journey.
