After almost a whole year of travel restrictions and remote working, virtual meetings have become a regular part of the scouting and transfer process.

That’s why, back in November, we launched our first-ever virtual edition of Wyscout Forum, allow­ing par­tic­i­pa­tion from the com­fort of homes, train­ing grounds and offices world­wide.

Over 280 par­tic­i­pants from 39 coun­tries were able to build net­works, sched­ul­e meet­ings, and start­ nego­ti­a­tions – all tak­ing place online.

And that’s why, on January 20, we doubled our commitment to provide high-val­ue net­work­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties to clubs, inter­me­di­aries and agen­cies world­wide by hosting our first-ever Wyscout MeetUp – a one-day virtual networking event for key decision-makers to come together in the final weeks of the January transfer window.

Wyscout MeetUp 2021 In Numbers.

Wyscout MeetUp has been a way for key decision-makers in the football industry to meet for 12 hours at a critical time in the January transfer window, when clubs need to take smart, valuable decisions with a very tight schedule.

Wyscout MeetUp provided club representatives, agents and intermediaries to meet and discuss transfers in a virtual environment, making transfer negotiations more efficient and effective.

On January 20, in just a twelve-hour time span, 183 attendees from 33 countries around the world held an impressive 680+ meetings to kick-off, continue or close transfer negotiations for their clubs or clients.

Wyscout MeetUp definitely proved to be a successful experiment, as the necessity for football professionals to meet in a virtual and organized environment is becoming inevitable rather than optional. Here’s what happened, in numbers:

  • 183 active par­tic­i­pants
  • 89 indi­vid­ual clubs from around the world
  • 33 coun­tries from Argentina to Japan
  • 680+ meet­ings sched­uled over 12 hours
  • 28 Meetings each organ­ised by pro­fes­sion­al clubs Brentford FC & FC Midtjylland
  • 780+ mes­sages were sent on the online plat­form between participants
