A new digital platform aimed at connecting stakeholders across the African football ecosystem, FutbolConect, has been officially launched, with its founders promising to expand access to football opportunities across the continent.
The platform is designed to serve players seeking trials, coaches pursuing career opportunities, scouts searching for talent and clubs looking to recruit players by providing a central hub for networking, talent discovery and recruitment.
Founder, Dr Arinze Madueke, said FutbolConect was created to bridge the gap between football talent and opportunities through technology.
“We created FutbolConect to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity by leveraging technology to make football more connected, accessible and inclusive for everyone involved in the game,” Madueke said.
He added that the platform would complement existing football development structures by making it easier for players, coaches, scouts and clubs to identify talent, build partnerships and expand their professional networks.
According to the organisers, the initiative will also focus on grassroots football, women’s football, youth development and coaching education as part of efforts to strengthen football development across Africa.
The platform offers services including player profiling, club visibility, talent scouting, recruitment, tournament promotion and football networking, with the developers describing it as a digital hub designed to support the growth of the game across the continent.
