Fifa regulations prohibit the movement of players to a foreign club or academy until they are 18.

One 14-year-old player, says he was forced into signing a six-year deal before playing for the senior team.
His contract promised him a salary and accommodation, but Kamara says he was never paid and had to sleep on the floor of the club's stadium - as did the rest of the travelling party.

"It was very bad because you can't have 30 people sleeping in one room," Kamara, who is now playing for a club back home in Liberia's top league, told the
BBC.

"It's a fictitious academy, which was never legally established," said Liberian journalist and sports promoter Wleh Bedell, who led the group to Laos in February but who has since returned.

"It's an 'academy' that has no coach nor doctor. Karmo was the coach, the business manager, everything. It was completely absurd
 All the minor carried out of the continent of Africa says they work and not get paid for playing in a contract that promises them $200 monthly and chance of playing for big clubs as time goes on.

Fifa has vowed to protect the interest of minor according to BBC. This is a bridge of contract and also illegal as pertain to the law governing the football body..
