The Chance - Giovanni van Bronckhorst's First Find
Through wind, rain and snow Nike continue their search for talented young footballers with the hunger to make it to the top. This time, former Dutch captain Giovanni van Bronckhorst sends his first find through to Holland's national finals...
We've already seen Pep Guardiola, Mano Menezes, Rio Ferdinand and Laurent Blanc with their First Finds. As Nike's extensive global scouting network continues to unearth the planet's best unsigned footballing talent. Of the 100 players who are chosen for each national final, 3 will progress to the global finals in Barcelona where 16 unsigned athletes will be selected to form an elite squad that will travel the globe, training with the world's best professional teams and playing against the most prestigious academy sides.
The players joining Gio's 'First Find' in the Dutch finals will be chosen by a nationwide network of scouts with the help of The Chance Facebook app. This will allow teams to enrol themselves on a shortlist and those that generate the most Facebook activity will be given a chance to progress further.
