Eyeball / Scouting
Eyeball is an innovative AI tool for scouting young players, utilizing a single camera to collect movement data. The platform analyzes player movement data and, based on it, creates player “archetypes,” comparing their playing style to well-known professionals such as Erling Haaland or Jude Bellingham. This enables early identification of talents with specific characteristics and potential, supporting the recruitment process in academies and clubs.
