About

EKXELLENCE SPORTS is a boutique agency based in Amay, Belgium, created in 2019 by Grace Dieu Diamouangana and focused strongly on the Belgian–Congolese talent pipeline. The agency specialises in guiding dual-national prospects from Belgian and French academies into professional football, with a growing footprint in Germany, Italy, Scotland and Turkey via moves to clubs such as Werder Bremen, Venezia, Rangers and Kocaelispor. Its roster leans heavily towards high-upside U23 players, complemented by representation of experienced coach Yannick Ferrera, recently head coach of Zamalek in Egypt and previously of clubs like Standard Liège, Al-Fateh and Omonia Nicosia. The agency differentiates itself through close links to Belgian academies and the DR Congolese diaspora, plus a willingness to collaborate with partner agencies on complex international transfers, for example in the case of Joseph Nonge.
