Is it permissible for a young man to post pictures of a part of his body (above the navel, with the rest of the body covered) on Facebook with the aim of attracting young players to offer training programs for a fee, knowing that these pictures might be seen by unintended viewers such as girls?

There is no religious impediment to displaying pictures of a man from above his navel, as this is not part of the awrah (private parts) that must be covered. The mere possibility of women viewing these pictures with lust does not necessitate prohibition.
