Youth Football in Africa
Africa has one of the youngest populations in the world, and football is the continent's most popular sport. Youth football is where tomorrow's stars are made.
Academies and grassroots
Young players come through a mix of club academies, independent academies, schools and street football. Quality and structure vary widely, which makes consistent information valuable.
The visibility gap
Many talented teenagers never appear in any database. Without verified records of age, matches and development, they are easy to overlook or, worse, open to exploitation.
Making young players visible
Scout54 is building verified player records so young talent can be seen safely and legitimately, with identity and age at the centre.
