In professional sports, identifying the right young talents can make a difference. However, finding those grassroot athletes proves to be a challenge, because scouting is mostly a manual & complex process and professional data analysis is reserved only for the big clubs. Talnets is democratising the sports talent scouting process and giving every young athlete a chance to be discovered. Our platform utilises machine learning and AI to extract key events and crucial data from match footage, built on a specially designed framework tailored exclusively for scouting and young player analysis. With technology at its core, we are building an open, democratized, and data-driven youth football ecosystem.
