aiScout app helps Chelsea FC Women Academy identify never seen before talent

Rebekah Pierce from Jersey had never had scouts at any of her local her games and her opportunities to progress within football were limited — until she found aiScout.

Having dreamt of playing for a WSL Club, she downloaded the aiScout app and completed the Chelsea FC Women trials. Rebekah’s drills were analysed, scored and shared with Chelsea FC. Her scores stood out, and she was quickly invited to play in front of scouts and coaches at the world famous Cobham training ground. 

Her performances and attitude impressed, and she was immediately signed to the Chelsea FC Women U18s squad. 

This is a world first - never before has a player been signed to a Club from outside the Academy system - shaping the way for more and more girls to achieve their footballing dreams across the world. 

Rebekah’s journey shows the power of aiScout: breaking down barriers and connecting untapped talent with top clubs. Her story is proof that with just a mobile phone and a football, players from anywhere can get noticed.
