LoRosa shared the exclusive update on Tuesday, October 27, revealing that the organization intends to make the December trip a meaningful experience for Nevada’s athletic development.
“I’m told they’ll work with the Roc Nation sports division overseas, as they represent a lot of soccer players, and plan to create opportunity for Nevada by doing all of the above,” LoRosa wrote.
Although the specific details of the trip have not been publicly outlined, the reported involvement of Roc Nation Sports could introduce Nevada to new training environments and international soccer connections at an incredibly young age. No formal player representation agreement or placement with a Spanish soccer club has been announced.
The news comes after Nevada Pierre captured widespread attention for something most parents would ordinarily celebrate: being exceptionally good at his favorite sport.
On Saturday, October 24, the toddler was participating in an i9 Sports youth soccer game at Martin Luther King Jr. Park in Winter Park, Florida. Nevada, who competes alongside children as old as five, was recorded maneuvering around other players, controlling the ball and scoring goals.
However, the afternoon ended with police officers arriving at the park following a dispute between league officials and Nevada’s parents, Martasia Griffin and Don Pierre.
His parents believed their son was being treated unfairly because his advanced abilities made it difficult for other children to compete.
“They’re mad at my son because he actually plays soccer,” Griffin told responding officers.
“They’re literally kicking him out of this place because he’s good at soccer,” she added.
The incident quickly spread across social media, with viewers questioning why a recreational youth soccer game involving a 3-year-old had escalated to police involvement.
However, i9 Sports disputes the family’s explanation of what happened.
According to the organization, officers were contacted because of a disagreement involving adults, not simply because Nevada was scoring too many goals.
Police body camera footage shows a league official acknowledging that Nevada was advanced compared with the other children. The official also alleged that Nevada had pushed other players and that his parents became disruptive following a disagreement about playing time.
Nevada’s parents have challenged those allegations. Griffin subsequently shared additional game footage to dispute claims about her son’s conduct.
Winter Park police characterized the incident as a civil matter rather than a criminal offense. Nobody was arrested, formally trespassed, or forced to leave the public park by police.
i9 Sports confirmed that the family’s participation fee was refunded and that the adults involved were asked not to continue participating in the program.
Despite the conflicting accounts, the controversy has opened doors that Nevada’s family had already hoped to pursue.
Griffin and Pierre previously expressed interest in taking their son overseas, particularly to Spain, where they believe he could continue developing his abilities in a different soccer environment.
The reported Roc Nation opportunity could now help move that ambition forward.
For a child who has not even reached kindergarten, Nevada Pierre has already attracted support from people with substantial experience in professional sports.
Roc Nation Sports, which represents international soccer talent, including Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior, publicly encouraged the toddler on social media.
“Keep shining Nevada; we support you!” the agency wrote.
Another major supporter is former United States men’s national soccer team player Eddie Johnson, who has offered to help train Nevada through his EJE7 Soccer Academy in Orlando.
Johnson revealed that the family previously approached him about training Nevada when he was just two years old. At that time, Johnson believed he was too young for the academy and recommended that the family first introduce him to organized youth soccer.
Now, Johnson is offering the young athlete an opportunity to develop his skills under professional guidance.
The former soccer star also addressed the larger issues he believes the incident exposed within youth sports.
“His situation has brought light to a lot of the things that still exist in youth soccer in this country,” Johnson wrote on Instagram.
“Entitlement, Jealousy, Envy, Nepotism, Gatekeeping and profiling especially against people of color.”
Johnson’s comments highlighted concerns about accessibility, fairness, and how young athletes are treated when their abilities exceed the expectations of recreational programs.
Meanwhile, Nevada’s growing visibility has inspired supporters to contribute to a GoFundMe organized by Griffin.
The fundraising campaign has reportedly surpassed $42,000, with donations intended to help cover training, equipment, registration fees, and travel expenses as Nevada continues playing soccer.
Beyond the financial support, Griffin has expressed concern about how the incident affected her son emotionally.
Speaking with Orlando’s WKMG, she said Nevada became frightened about playing aggressively after seeing police arrive at his game.
“It traumatized him, like he’s scared,” Griffin explained.
She said her son now worries that playing too well could result in another negative experience.
For Nevada’s father, the goal remains focused on his son’s love for the game rather than the controversy surrounding it.
“I want people to see his talent. Not because the police was called on him,” Don Pierre told WESH 2.
With Roc Nation Sports reportedly preparing a December trip to Spain and Johnson extending an invitation to train in Orlando, Nevada could soon have multiple opportunities to enjoy the sport in new environments.
