    Trust before transaction

    Football dreams need evidence

    PlayAbroadEU is designed to replace speculative trials, unclear intermediaries and unrealistic promises with verified pathways and accountable support.

    Our promises

    What you can hold us to

    Verified opportunities

    Partners, programmes and service providers are reviewed before being presented as verified.

    No false guarantees

    We never promise a professional contract, club placement, visa approval or employment outcome.

    Privacy and control

    Participants control their profile visibility and personal information is handled under GDPR-aligned processes.

    Safeguarding first

    Age, welfare, accommodation and responsible communications are considered throughout the participant journey.

    Our verification standard

    What verified should mean

    • The organisation or individual can be identified.
    • The programme, service or opportunity has supporting evidence.
    • Commercial terms and exclusions are presented clearly.
    • Safeguarding and participant welfare risks are considered.
    • Complaints and material changes can be escalated.

    Red flags we challenge

    • Guaranteed professional contracts or visa approvals.
    • Pressure to pay immediately without written terms.
    • Unverifiable club names, addresses or representatives.
    • Requests to pay personal accounts without documented justification.
    • AI-generated or misleading promotional material presented as evidence.

    Frequently asked questions

    You can check for yourself before you commit. The Trust Centre states that PlayAbroad never promises a contract, placement, visa or employment outcome, and the site shows verification separately from profile completion. You can reach the team at info@playabroad.eu. As with any football offer, read the written terms, ask questions and keep records before you pay anyone.

    No. The Trust Centre says PlayAbroad never promises a professional contract, club placement, visa approval or employment outcome. Clubs and programme partners decide selection and contracts. An account, completed profile, verification or subscription does not guarantee a trial, contract, visa, admission or placement, so be cautious of anyone who says it does.

    No. Visa decisions are made by the relevant authorities, and neither PlayAbroad nor a payment can control the outcome. PlayAbroad can support preparation and coordination only. Treat any promise of guaranteed visa approval as a red flag, ask for requirements in writing, and do not pay anyone who says they can guarantee a decision.

    Verified is a status separate from a completed profile. The Trust Centre says it should mean the organisation or individual can be identified, the opportunity has supporting evidence, commercial terms and exclusions are clear, safeguarding risks are considered and complaints can be escalated. Checks may include company or identity checks, programme evidence, references and ongoing monitoring. Verification cannot be purchased.

    The Trust Centre lists guaranteed professional contracts or visa approvals, pressure to pay immediately without written terms, club names, addresses or representatives you cannot verify, requests to pay a personal account without documented justification, and AI-generated or misleading promotional material presented as evidence. If you see any of these, pause and ask for written details before paying.

    Use the contact page to reach the Trust & Safety team, or email info@playabroad.eu, before taking further action. Say which opportunity, representative or payment request concerns you. Avoid sending money or personal documents while the request is unclear. Concerns about conduct on the platform can be reported to the same address.

    Your exact birth date, email and private documents are excluded from public player discovery, and public adult profiles need your publication choice. Optional analytics stay off until you enable them. The privacy page describes access, correction, export and deletion requests, which you can make at info@playabroad.eu. PlayAbroad may need to verify your identity first.
