Guide: football CV and highlight video
The football CV — one page
- Name, date of birth, nationality, contact (for minors: a parent’s contact)
- Position(s), strong foot, height
- Clubs and leagues with seasons, matches and minutes played
- Goals, assists or clean sheets where relevant
- Coaches or contacts who can give a reference
- Link to the highlight video and to full matches
The highlight video
- Short: about 3–5 minutes
- Best actions in the first 30 seconds
- Mark yourself before each clip so scouts can find you
- Show what your position requires — not only goals: defending, passing, movement off the ball
- Recent footage from competitive matches
- Always add one or two full matches: scouts want to see a whole game
