Our Mission
To become the go-to global platform for football Information, Advice, and Guidance (IAG), built specifically for released and overlooked players — empowering them and their families with the tools, insight, and tailored pathways they need to bounce back, rebuild, and succeed in the game they love.
Why We Exist
Every year, thousands of players are released — not because they aren’t talented, but because timing, politics, or circumstances got in the way. Too many are left in the dark, without a plan, support, or direction.
We’re here to change that.
We believe being released isn’t the end — it’s just a redirection. And overlooked ballers deserve to be seen, supported, and given real chances to grow.
What Makes Us Different
We’re not a talent agency.
We don’t collect names and hope something sticks. We work with each player to understand their story, their strengths, and their next best move — whether that’s back into the system, into a scholarship, or towards a new opportunity in football or beyond.
We’re not just scouts.
We attend 1v1s, trials, and showcases not just to watch, but to educate. We break down what scouts are really looking for, what clubs want, and what players need to do to stay ready and stay seen.
We’re the voice for the voiceless.
Behind every player is a family, a journey, and a dream. We’re here to give you a plan, a platform, and a path forward.
We’re Here to Disrupt the Game
We’re not here to play it safe. We’re here to break down barriers, end the guesswork, and give you real, unfiltered insight into how football really works — so you can take control of your career, your choices, and your future.

We’ll be adding more partners here very soon! Keep in touch!

Troy Malunda’s Path to the Baller League UK
I was with Wigan Athletic for years, but after being released, I was at a crossroads. I knew I had the ability, but I was unsure where my next step would take me. I started working with BallerXScout to get more exposure and find the right club — whether that was in non-league or another professional team.
Goodness Gospel-Eze’s Journey to Premier League Glory
I had never been in an academy before, and at 15, I was still playing for a grassroots team in Bolton. But BallerXScout saw something in me that no one else had. After attending a Top Baller event in Manchester, I was spotted by BallerXScout and, from there, everything changed. They believed in me, even though I had no academy experience.
