How does City Football Group's global scouting network operate?

What are the characteristics we look for? And how are deals completed? 

SCOUT, a fascinating new four-part documentary available to CITY+ subscribers, lifts the lid on the City Football Group’s approach to talent identification.

Episodes One and Two are available to watch now on CITY+, with the first episode focusing on South America, a hotbed of some of the world’s most exciting football talent.

In Episode Two, our focus is the European market. 

Take a deep dive into the increasing role artificial intelligence has in scouting with Director of Data Insights and Technology Brian Prestidge in this episode - plus discover why the cognitive capabilities of players like Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez allow them to move and see the game in a distinct and special way.

We also explore why Aymeric Laporte stood out to the data team before his move to City, and how Phil Foden is translating incredible potential into performances for the Blues’ first team.
