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 🙂
Cardiff City FC is an English professional football club based in Cardiff, Wales. The club competes in the EFL Championship, the second tier of English football.
Cardiff City FC Youth Development System
How does recruitment work at Cardiff City Football Club’s Academy?
The Academy has a network of scouts dedicated to the Club on a local and national basis. They regularly watch games and identify players from Under-7s to Under-18s.
When a scout highlights a prospective player to the Recruitment Department, it is then taken through an expansive process to see whether there is potential for the recommendation to proceed.
Does Cardiff City FC run open trials and how do I get a trial?
Cardiff City FC does not run open trials. They are continually observing players at their local clubs before inviting them for a training period.
If you wish to forward a playing CV to the Academy, please include a fixture list with kick-off times and venues for your team.
In addition to the fixture information, Cardiff City FC will need to know about your football background, including information such as date of birth, playing position, clubs previously played for and any representative achievements.
Please supply any letters of reference and/or recommendation which will help support an application.
It must be noted that emails should always come from the player’s parents or guardians when sending in details, as Cardiff City FC will only communicate with parents & guardians of any players who are minors.
For all Academy Recruitment queries, please email academy.recruitment@cardiffcityfc.co.uk
Please note that Cardiff City FC are only able to trial players in accordance with the Regulations set by the Home Office, FIFA, FAW, The FA & EFL.
How do I know if a scout has been to watch me?
You will only know if Cardiff City FC has been at the game when they make contact via your current club – Cardiff City FC will always approach your coach/manager, club secretary or club official before contacting a player’s parents.
I keep contacting clubs, but never seem to get invited for trials. What can I do to get scouted?
Football is a competitive profession in which to ‘make it’ and there is a huge number of players that wish to be seen.
Some people are noticed early on, and others develop later. Keep working hard, emailing clubs at a variety of different levels.
The higher the level you are currently playing at, the more likely you are to be noticed, and so even if you do not get a trial at Cardiff City Football Club, look to move up the leagues at whatever level you can.
Do not lose heart, and however far you get, do it for the enjoyment of the game; professional recognition is of course a bonus, but a love of the game will give you satisfaction whatever the outcome!
For all Academy Recruitment queries, please email academy.recruitment@cardiffcityfc.co.uk
Please note that Cardiff City FC gets hundreds of trial applications each week, so are not able to respond to all emails.
