Doha: As a first in football tournament history, the FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2025™ Local Organising Committee (LOC) has offered a comprehensive programme to support football scouts in discovering stars of tomorrow at the premier youth competition taking place in Qatar.
The programme offers football scouts a turnkey solution that includes travel, accommodation, as well as match tickets, allowing them to stay in a centralised location within walking distance from the tournament venue and be at the heart of the event.
“This is an unprecedented level of service for football scouts in any tournament history. The LOC recognises the pivotal role of scouts in identifying young talents on the pitch and shaping their future. Our aim was to provide them with a tailored experience that allows them to focus solely on the game, and offer them the best conditions to scout the next talent, while we take care of all the logistical details related to their visit,” said Abdulla Al Saai, LOC Executive Director of Sports Management.
More than 130 scouts from top international clubs are attending the FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2025™, with the LOC providing dedicated services to streamline their experience at the tournament. A total of 104 matches are taking place across eight pitches of the Competition Complex in Aspire Zone, with up to eight matches a day during the ongoing group stage. The tournament’s one-of-a-kind centralised venue format has enabled scouts to attend multiple matches in a day and observe emerging talents up close from a single venue.
