 FAQ

  • GO-AL is a football talent service founded by Jaime González Albarrán. It focuses on scouting, youth tournament coordination, player integration, and club partnerships across Latin America, North Africa, the USA, and Europe.

  • GO-AL works primarily with:

    • Professional clubs

    • Youth academies

    • Development programs

    • Trusted partners such as scouts and tournament organizers

    The focus is on clubs and organizations, not on representing individual players as a traditional agent.

  • Most agencies focus on contracts and player representation. GO-AL focuses on:

    • Finding talent in under-scouted regions

    • Coordinating youth teams for international tournaments

    • Helping players adapt when they move abroad

    • Building long-term relationships between clubs and academies across continents

    In short, GO-AL is a connector between clubs, cultures, and hidden talent.

  • GO-AL currently works across:

    • Latin America

    • North Africa

    • The United States

    • Europe

    Within these regions, the emphasis is on youth academies, development teams, and competitions that sit just outside the mainstream scouting spotlight.

  • Both.

    GO-AL uses “football” on the site, but supports football and soccer clubs in markets where both terms are used. The work is the same: connecting clubs with hidden talent and supporting youth development across regions.

  • Scouting services can include:

    • Live match and tournament scouting

    • Video-based player review

    • Tailored player reports for clubs

    • Suggestions for trials or follow-up scouting

    • Feedback on fit with a club’s style and needs

    All scouting is based on trusted networks and on-the-ground knowledge of local contexts.

  • For clubs that want to enter international youth tournaments, GO-AL can help with:

    • Identifying suitable tournaments and levels

    • Initial contact with organizers

    • Coordination of schedules and participation details

    • Support with logistics such as travel, local planning, and basic on-site liaison

    The exact scope depends on the needs of the club and the tournament.

  • Yes, but always in alignment with the club.

    GO-AL can support player integration by:

    • Helping with cultural context and expectations

    • Acting as a communication bridge in the early stages

    • Offering practical guidance around life off the pitch

    The aim is to support both the club and the player so the transition is as smooth as possible.

  • The first step is a conversation.

    Clubs can use the contact form or email address on the site to share:

    • Who they are

    • What level they operate at

    • What they are looking for right now
      (scouting, tournaments, partnerships, or integration support)

    From there, GO-AL can propose a clear next step.
