About PlayerXI

Vision

To become Africa's leading football ecosystem, connecting talent, opportunity and investment to create a stronger future for football.

Mission

To make football opportunities more accessible by connecting players, scouts, clubs, academies, organisations and sponsors through one free, safe and accessible platform.

Why free?

Talent shouldn't depend on who can afford to be seen. PlayerXI carries no subscription and no pay-per-contact fee for players, scouts, or clubs — it's funded by sponsors instead, so the door stays open to every player regardless of where they come from or what they can pay.

Safety comes first

Every player under 18 is protected by mandatory guardian consent — a minor's account can't raise its own visibility, accept a contact request, or accept a trial invitation without a verified parent or guardian doing it on their behalf. All communication stays inside PlayerXI; contact details are never exchanged directly.

How it works

• Players build a profile, upload footage, and control who can see it
• Scouts and clubs complete identity/professional verification before they can reach out
• Contact and trial invitations always route through the player — or their guardian, if they're a minor
• Clubs and academies publish trials that any player can discover and apply to
