    Frequently asked questions

    Use accurate, current details, a clear recent photo of yourself and footage you have permission to share, and choose visibility deliberately. The profile preparation guide walks through each step, from stating your position, level and availability to applying only to suitable opportunities. A complete profile helps clubs assess you but does not guarantee selection.

    Send footage you have permission to share, identify yourself clearly, include recent match context and avoid effects that hide the play. Match footage can show decisions away from the ball as well as highlights. Wait until your upload has been processed and test playback before you publish it.

    The position, level and availability needed, plus location, eligibility, deadlines and the application process. Say whether it is a trial, academy programme, contract discussion or another arrangement, and state any application, training, accommodation or travel costs and what they cover. Never imply that a payment guarantees selection, a contract or immigration approval.

    No. The guides cover preparing a player profile and writing a recruitment opportunity. They do not give immigration or legal advice. Visa decisions are made by the relevant authorities, so rely on official sources and written terms for those questions. Neither guide guarantees a trial, contract, visa or placement.
