Player ID Events
Benchmark Your Performance, Pursue Professional Opportunities
Get Discovered
Our Player ID Events scout players for training and trial opportunities at professional clubs in the UK, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Italy.
Evaluated by a UEFA A licensed coach with a track record of placing players in top leagues across Europe, participants undergo technical and physical benchmark performance tests and receive individual evaluations.
We focus on identifying strengths and areas for improvement to match academy standards at professional clubs.
In the last year, we've placed over 30 players at professional clubs in Europe and aim to double this number.

Why Attend a Pro Soccer Player ID Event?
You'll have the chance to showcase your talent and benchmark your performance against the highest European academy standards. We are searching for the next generation of soccer talent, and European pro clubs are eager to see what we’ll find next!
Success Stories
​​We have been developing and placing players at professional clubs in Europe for over 20 years. Our primary focus has been on placing players at professional clubs in the UK, including partnerships with EPL club Wolves and other Championship, League 1, and 2 clubs.
​
Expanding Opportunities
Due to recent restrictions on professional playing opportunities in the UK for non-UK passport holders, we have developed direct pathways to clubs in Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and other markets.
