The Association of Sporting Directors partners with Eyeball, the football industry’s leading youth scouting platform

Eyeball, the football industry’s leading youth scouting platform, and the Association of Sporting Directors, an organisation that supports, connects and develops sporting directors, are pleased to announce their new partnership.

Eyeball is designed to streamline talent identification and recruitment of young players. By pairing exclusively acquired video with advanced data analytics clubs can efficiently scout, compare and monitor elite youth players from all across Europe and Africa.

“Following a detailed consultation process with the world-leading sporting directors representing the Association’s technical committee, we are delighted to announce Eyeball as a partner. We are excited about the work Eyeball does creating transparency and opportunity in the increasingly important youth player sector.  Sporting directors globally are challenged by creating a financially sustainable player recruitment model, and Eyeball hypothesise that securing a strong pipeline of young players represents one of the biggest opportunities for clubs to impact their bottom line.” Dr. Daniel Parnell, CEO, Association of Sporting Directors.

 

“We’ve been using Eyeball for a few years now and it gives us the opportunity to cover youth markets worldwide that are otherwise very difficult for us to access. It saves us a lot of time and makes us far more efficient with our travelling.  It’s become a very important tool for our first team as well as it covers that vital space between youth and senior level, 16-19 years, which is key for a club like ours.”

Kelvin de Lang – Technical Director, Ajax Amsterdam

 

“Eyeball was only incorporated four years ago, and while that sometimes feels like only yesterday, when I pause and realise how integral our company is to the daily processes of many of the world’s elite football clubs, I realise just how far we have come, on what is turning out to be a very special journey. We recently completed a EUR 5m investment round, so over the last year we have become polished at explaining the What, Why and How of the Eyeball business. It’s the Why and How narratives that have specific relevance to the world’s Sporting Directors. Creating an optimised recruitment process for youth and emerging talents not only feeds into first team performance but ultimately can have significant impact on the financial sustainability of a club. The How, is the most modern, purpose-built scouting platform, combining exclusive video and advanced performance data.” David Hicks, Eyeball – Chief Strategy Officer.

“Being invited to partner with the Association of Sporting Directors is another significant landmark in our development.  To be able to commune with the members is a great opportunity for us to listen and learn directly from the people who impact the clubs we seek to serve.” Manfred Lerley – Eyeball CEO
