Revolutionising talent identification with Veo
Fun Flair Festivals help identify Foundation Phase talent at scale, filmed on Veo and reviewed remotely by scouts. See more players. Faster. From anywhere.
What are Fun Flair Festivals?
Organised events designed to spotlight players aged 5-12.
Scouts get remote access via Veo footage, giving you structured visibility of players who sit outside traditional scouting coverage.
Players attend from the We Make Footballers national network, local grassroots clubs, and schools. For scouts, that means high volume, consistent format, easy identification, and no travel.
These are some of the clubs who’ve scouted players from Fun Flair Festivals so far - we’re committed to helping as many players as possible get seen and reach their potential.
Where players come from
Talent flows from multiple pathways into every festival
We Make Footballers national network
Players already embedded in our development system
Local grassroots clubs
Emerging talent from community football across the UK
Schools and local education networks
Players who might never reach traditional academy pathways
What scouts actually get
High volume of players in a consistent format. No travel, no guesswork, just clear sight of talent.
Why we built this
Traditional scouting leaves players behind. Geography, late development, and limited club access keep talent hidden. We built Fun Flair Festivals to capture players systematically on video and expand your reach.
