the future of football recruitment

CHanging the game,

for good.

Our mission is simple: to create access where there was none, to provide clarity where there was confusion, and to give every deserving player the chance to succeed at the highest level. 

At Open Goal Inc., we are redefining the pathway to professional football by eliminating financial and systemic barriers that have long kept talented players from reaching their full potential. As football’s first Player Liaisons, we provide a transparent, merit-based approach to recruitment, ensuring that ability, not privilege, determines a player’s career. We exist to break down walls, create opportunities, and give the next generation the access and support every athlete deserves.

  • Open Goal Inc. is a nonprofit organization made of player liaisons who are dedicated to creating a transparent, player-first pathway for elite youth footballers to access professional opportunities without financial barriers or reliance on agents.

  • A Player Liaison at Open Goal Inc. is an advocate who helps elite footballers navigate professional recruitment by connecting them directly with top clubs through trials, tournaments, and training opportunities. We provide transparent, merit-based pathways and offer strategic guidance on the football landscape—all without financial barriers.

    Working with a Player Liaison does not affect a player's amateur status, ensuring they maintain collegiate eligibility while exploring professional pathways.

  • Unlike traditional pay-to-play models, we provide merit-based opportunities for talented players to showcase their skills in front of professional clubs. We focus on direct club trials, real-world exposure, and long-term player development instead of relying on video scouting or costly intermediaries.
