Gold boys Ben Farhat and Pinto Pedrosa to remain at Kids' Sports Club (KSC)

Karlsruher SC's Rising Talents: Rafael Pinto Pedrosa and Louey Ben Farhat

Two stunning football prodigies have been nurtured within the Karlsruher SC (KSC) youth academy, and their market value exceeds one million euros each. However, the KSC won't part ways for that amount, as it would require offers several million euros to even pique their interest.

Rafael Pinto Pedrosa: Homegrown powerhouse with potential for more

Born in Pforzheim with Portuguese roots, Rafael Pinto Pedrosa joined the KSC at ten years old. His debut in a 2nd Bundesliga game against Schalke 04 before his 17th birthday marked the beginning of a 14-game professional career. He also has one assist and 360 minutes of playtime, an outstanding achievement at 17. He's represented Germany four times at the U18 level, and recently extended his contract until 2028.

Coach Christian Eichner acknowledges Pinto Pedrosa's incredible development, stating that he's gained invaluable experiences in the previous season[4]. With KSC veteran Sebastian Jung turning 34, Pedrosa could potentially fill his shoes.

Louey Ben Farhat: The man who almost clinched the cup

Louey Ben Farhat, KSC's shooting star this season, narrowly missed out on the U19 DFB-Pokal due to an injury. Experts agree that his presence on the field would have tipped the scale in the team's favor.

The quick and deft offensive player scored three goals in 12 appearances during the 2024-2025 season[4]. His success has attracted attention from top-tier clubs, but he chose to remain with KSC. Insiders suggest the club has extended his contract by two years, keeping him at KSC until 2029.

The Future of KSC Depends on Young Blood

Ben Farhat is thrilled with his contract extension, but remains focused on improving his skills. With their new contracts, both Pedrosa and Farhat are essential to KSC's future success. Their enhancements offer the club not only improved team performance but potentially higher transfer fees if they decide to move on[3].
