ABOUT US
Specialising in
Video Scouting
Many professional clubs face player recruitment challenges due to limited resources. This is where we step in.
We assist clubs in finding the best players by harnessing the full potential of video scouting and reporting. We strive to enhance scouting processes, making them more efficient and effective.
What makes us tick
Our approach
We combine technology with football expertise. This allows us to support clubs in making their scouting process super-efficient. Clubs can assess a broader range of players, matches and leagues while saving time and resources and receiving impartial insights.
Our process is straightforward:
- Clubs access our easy-to-use platform to monitor activity, organise reports and track their scouting pipeline.
- Assign our top-level video scouts to each club to bolster their own team’s manpower.
- Assign a dedicated WhatsApp channel so clubs can directly request reports 24/7.
Who we help
At Virtual Scout, we specialise in aiding professional football clubs globally, many of which face resource constraints.
These limitations often result in delayed player follow-ups, restricted scouting focused mainly on home countries or a few familiar nations, and heavy reliance on a small group of agents.
Our Virtual Scout platform adds speed and organisation to the scouting process. Partnering with our remote video scouting team brings a flexible and efficient solution. We offer the capacity of a whole team of scouts, accessible any time, for half the cost of employing a full-time scout.
Team of Scouts
We are based in the UK with the scouting team operating remotely across the world.
All our scouts have professional club experience.
Even so, we recruit and train our scouts in a clear, defined, and standardised way so that all reports are consistent and of the highest quality.
It matters to us that our scouts have a top-level understanding of the game and that they can translate that into clearly written and understandable reports.
