Hi, I’m Carlos! A coach, sports enthusiast, and the founder of FCScout.com.
I fell in love with the game at a very young age like many of you. I’ve been following and playing soccer for many years.
Throughout my career, I always enjoyed helping soccer players chase their dreams, which is why I started this website. I wanted to reach a larger audience outside of my local area and fcscout.com was born.
This website is a platform I will be using to update club pages on any tryouts, stadiums, players, tech, and more from clubs around the world. I also create free recruitment profiles for players looking to have that extra competitive edge when reaching out to clubs.
That’s it. That’s my pitch for you to stick around (or browse the site as you please).
This is already too much text for a “see more” drop-down button thing. If you want to reach out to me, head on over to my contact page 🙂

Brentford FC History
Before joining the London League in 1896, Brentford competed in amateur football. They finished as runners-up in the Second Division and subsequently the First Division, which enabled them to secure election into the Southern League in 1898. In the season 1900–01, they were champions of the Southern League Second Division, and in 1920, they were accepted into the Football League. In the 1932–1933 season, Brentford won the title for the Third Division South, and in the 1934–1935 season, they won the title for the Second Division.
The club experienced great success during their time playing in the highest division of English football, reaching their highest ever league finish of fifth place in the First Division during the 1935–1936 season. However, three consecutive relegations put them in the Fourth Division by the time 1962 rolled around. They won the title of champions of the Fourth Division in 1962–1963 but were demoted the next year, in 1966, and again in 1973 after being promoted the year before, in 1971–72. After being promoted in 1977–78, Brentford played in the Third Division for the next 14 seasons, eventually winning the division in 1991–92 before being down once again in 1993. Brentford was relegated to the Second Division in 1993.
In 1998, Brentford was demoted to the fourth level of English football, but the following season, they emerged victorious and were elevated to the first flight. The team was demoted to League Two in 2007, then earned promotion as league winners in 2008–09, and finally were promoted out of League One in 2013–14. In both 2015 and 2020, they participated in the Championship play-offs but were ultimately unsuccessful. The team had a terrible record in finals, coming in second place three times (1985, 2001, and 2011) in the Associate Members’ Cup / Football League Trophy finals and losing four play-off finals (the 1997 Second Division final, 2002 Second Division final, 2013 League One final and 2020 Championship final). Despite this, Brentford was victorious in the Championship final in 2021, which allowed them to return to the top division for the first time since the 1946–1947 season.
Brentford FC Stadium
