AIFF launches ScoutMe app to unearth new football talent in the country
Indian football's governing body will carry out careful scrutinization and certificate authenication to maintain the integrity of the application.
The last 12 months have been tremondous for Indian football, majorly because of hosting the FIFA U-17 World Cup, another for establishing youth systems over the domestic boundary of the country. Induced, by the growth of the U-17 national team, the All India Football Federation took a step further to spot young talent in a much easier way.
By joining hands with the digital space, AIFF’s new mobile scouting application ScoutMe will further streamline the scouting process. Becoming the first Sports Federation in India to launch a mobile based scouting application to unearth future talent, the federation is not new to a system like this. It was through their overseas online scouting portal that the AIFF discovered Namit Deshpande and Sunny Dhaliwal for the major tournament.
AIFF President Praful Patel was ecstatic and confident of the success of the new venture. "It’s a pleasure for me to launch the AIFF’s scouting application. We have so much talent across every corner of the country, but it’s not always physically possible to travel the distance. Hence, we intend to bridge this distance through the ever-growing and highly-penetrative mobile application ecosystem.”
"I would like to also take this opportunity to congratulate Kush, the creator of this app. I would urge the youth today to invest their intellect in such constructive acts that only work as a showcase for their future and also help many like them in the longer run,” he added. “I am sure that through ScoutMe, we would be slowly giving life to many aspirants and talents who dream of representing their state and country in football.”
ScoutMe has been developed by a 17-year-old football enthusiast who is pursuing his International Baccalaureate Diploma Program at Jayshree Periwal International School, Jaipur.
Addressing the media AIFF General Secretary Kushal Das said, "When I first saw Kush's vision for the project, I was quite impressed with it. Initially it needed slight improvements and efforts but now it is ready and it will be essential for Indian football. This will surely aid us in managing our rosters and leagues in the country."
"We are further looking forward to developing an independent application for baby leagues and Kush is welcome to assist us in that," he added.
ScoutMe, in simpler terms is an end-to-end solution for a lengthy process of scouting young talent in remote and urban areas. The user shall make an account and maintain profiles for his players or himself by uploading images/videos, relevent certificates, performaces during their matches and so on.
Abhishek Yadav, National Team Director said that AIFF approved coaches will have a keen eye on the roster on offer through the app. Careful scrutinization and certificate authenication will be done on regular basis to maintain integrity.
Kush Pandey, the creator of the app said, “My interest in computer science along with my love for football and sustained help from my younger brother Arjun Pandey enabled me to create an application to scout prospective footballing talent. I am grateful to the AIFF for giving me the platform to aid their grassroots development scouting process through the application.”
In the era of digital personal data frauds, it will be interesting to see which fruit will be on offer through this collaboration, promising new players or yet another hoax.
As per my sources AIFF are in talks with Australia and Hong Kong from AFC for Champions cup, New Zealand and cook islands from OFC and South Africa and Angola from CAF, with only 1 from each from AFC,caf,ofc will play in champions cup with india, in 1-8th June. Most likely Salt Lake stadium will be the venue.
Good news Vikram Pratap Singh scored the winner for India U-16 against Swedish club IFK Stocksund in the first match of MIC Mediterranean International Cup.
