HOW DO FOOTBALL SCOUTS WORK?
A football scout attends football matches on the behalf of clubs to collect intelligence. Primarily, there are two types of scouts: player scouts and tactical scouts. Player scouts or physical scouts evaluate the talent of footballers with a view to signing them on a professional contract for their employers.

FINDING PLAYERS

A player scout typically attends as many football matches as possible to evaluate targets first hand. Scouts who wish to identify promising young players typically attend lower-league club games, where their talent can be compared to older peers, or under-16, 18 and 21 international tournaments. Scouts may also receive tips from agents, peers and club colleagues.

IMPORTANCE OF SCOUTING
With the modernization and globalization of football and the football club economy, scouting has grown in stature and importance. Competition to search for young talents is extremely keen. The importance of scouting offers football clubs with several distinct advantages:

GLOBAL REACH.
Scouting allows clubs to cast the largest possible net to find players from all around the world.

CHEAP PLAYERS.
Players from lower leagues can be available at cheaper transfer prices, and command smaller wages. In particular, a talented cheap player can help a football club to progress in a league, knockout cup competition, or into continental cup competition, potentially even ahead of other clubs with superior financial clout.

SPECIALIST TACTICAL ADVICE.
Scouting opposition matches allows clubs to build up a knowledge base about opponents that club coaches would otherwise not have the time and resources to research on their own.
