The Saudi Arabian Football Federation has launched "the Future Stars" competition, which aims to discover football talents for the age group from 12 to 15 years, using videos sent through the Qurentavi platform.

The project is divided into two phases, as the first phase, which begins today and lasts for a month, includes the application of a number of weekly challenges and skills performed by the participant and documented by video recording before being uploaded to the competition section on the platform, provided that the best entries are selected to enter the voting phase for the opportunity to win weekly prizes.

The second stage begins after the end of the participation period, in which all the players’ clips are evaluated to be filtered and qualified talents are selected for field tests, provided that the qualified are tested on the ground in performance trials under the supervision of coaches and specialists.

It is noteworthy that this step comes within the technical transformation, which is one of the tracks of the transformation strategy for the Saudi football that was announced recently, with the aim of reaching the registration of more than 200,000 players and following up more than 6,000 talented people by 2025.
