Our story
Since 2014, SCOUTED has been the leading voice in scouting and recruitment journalism.
It began as a student's blog. Dreamed up on a train, SCOUTED was founded with a simple idea: what if a publication existed purely to introduce readers to football's next generation?
Since then, the team has worked tirelessly to cement its reputation not just as industry journalists but as leading scouts and analysts. SCOUTED writers have gone on to work for publications like The Athletic, organisations like Major League Soccer, and Champions League clubs as scouts. Our readership includes analysts, scouts, sporting directors and CEOs from some of the world's leading football clubs. Our ideas and processes have influenced high-profile transfers from across the continent.
In 2022, SkillCorner became SCOUTED'S official data partner. Over the past four years, SCOUTED authored dozens of articles exploring how SkillCorner's industry leading Game Intelligence data can be applied to real-life scouting problems. Now, that relationship has created SCOUTED Pro.
Pro is all of SCOUTED's industry intelligence packaged into a simple form. No more long-form articles or explanations: just insight, direct and accessible. It leverages everything the SCOUTED team has learned over its years of industry expertise to deliver concise reports on the young players we believe clubs everywhere should be looking at. Every player we recommend has been vetted by the same eyes that built SCOUTED's reputation for quality and accurate scouting over the past decade.
More than just player lists, Pro is the culmination of years of data expertise. SCOUTED's proprietary data methodologies, like Archetypes, are explained and delivered directly, so your recruitment team might apply them to their own work, or pull them apart to inspire new practices. And our background in journalism means everything is packaged in tight, football-specific language that's easy to communicate.
