Problem
Football clubs, agents, and players often rely on informal communication channels and fragmented data sources, making talent discovery, recruitment, and performance evaluation time‑consuming and error‑prone. The lack of a centralized, data‑driven marketplace leads to missed opportunities and inefficient transfer negotiations.
Solution
Footy Labs offers an AI‑driven platform that connects clubs, agents, and players through a searchable database of more than 300 current opportunities. The system evaluates each player using over 100 performance metrics—such as goals per 90 minutes, pass accuracy, and successful dribbles—and aggregates comparable club statistics. AI algorithms surface the best matches for a club’s recruitment need and suggest suitable replacements for underperforming squad members. Users can post recruitment requirements, view verified agent and player profiles, and track contract status and renewal alerts within a single dashboard. Data from match reports are automatically integrated, eliminating manual entry and ensuring up‑to‑date analytics. The platform is accessible via a web interface with role‑specific subscription plans, allowing clubs, agencies, and individual athletes to adopt the service at scale.
Target Audience
Primary customers are professional and semi‑professional football clubs seeking data‑driven scouting, football agents looking to manage and market their player rosters, and individual players aiming to increase visibility and track career performance.
