Players will be evaluated by professional coaches and football professionals.

The aim is to evaluate the player based on overall football performance, not just a few technical moves.

At the end of the initial evaluations, a total of 44 players will be selected for the main tournament squad.

Three ONUKSPORTS CUP teams will be formed from the 44 selected players.

This visibility can help players get on the radar of different clubs, gain new evaluation and trial opportunities, and open new doors in their careers depending on their performance.

For players who particularly stand out and show high potential during the tournament and evaluation process, different career opportunities may be considered at a later stage. These include;
