The Young Colombian Talent Joining Baiersdorfer SV

Baiersdorfer SV has made an exciting addition for the 2024-25 season by signing the young talented Colombian midfielder Daniel Vanni Acuña. At 19 years old, Dani Vanni is part of the IFX Nürnberg football exchange program, which allows competitive players to live, study, and play football in Germany.

From Colombia to Germany: A Journey of Development and Opportunities

Daniel Vanni began his journey this summer, arriving in Nuremberg as part of the Pro IFX Year program. This program not only offers players the chance to advance their football careers but also to discover new cultures and learn languages. Vanni, originally from Liga Antioquía, played for the U17 and U20 teams of Color Esperanza FC, where he showcased his talent and determination.

Before enrolling in the year-long program, Dani first came to Germany in February this year as part of the Pro 30 Day football scouting program. This initial experience allowed him to get a close look at German football, and motivated by the results, he decided to return for a longer stay.

Integration into Baiersdorfer SV

Since his arrival, Dani has already joined Baiersdorfer SV's training sessions and participated in some friendly matches, impressing his new teammates and coaching staff. Although originally a midfielder, Baiersdorfer SV’s coaches have decided to position Dani as a left winger, believing he performs better in this role.

More Than Football: Education and Culture

Daniel Vanni's development extends beyond the pitch. Academically, he has decided to study German at our partner language institute in Nuremberg. Learning the local language is a tremendous advantage for our players, not only during training with their respective clubs but also in their leisure time. Germans greatly appreciate foreigners who integrate well into their culture, and Dani is making a notable effort in this aspect.

“I think it's a great opportunity to come and test my football level by training with clubs and measure what I am capable of. It also helps me realise that there are no limits when it comes to passion for something."
