- Young footballers in Ghana and their guardians
- Worth noticing
- The homepage says under-18 scout requests go to a guardian, while players can use the platform free.
Field notes
The homepage shows a public timeline with six posts, including player updates and a video post. Viewers can use Cheer or Pass reactions, reply, and open video through play controls or links to YouTube and Reels. Pitchside says scouts provide club or agency details for moderator verification before contacting players, while under-18 requests route to a guardian. It also says clips load only when played and adapt to the viewer’s signal.
