For us it is very important to have partners like the FootballISM platform, which will help in a practical way the work carried out by the professionals of our club in the youth training process.”
For Filipe Esteves, Head of FootballISM: “the implementation of FootballISM in a club with the training aspect of FC Ska Brasil is the practical verification of its effectiveness, and the possibility of adapting this solution to different realities and needs. From this moment, and through a single customizable platform, all the departments of the club are integrated, which allows to enhance the sophistication of its sport and operational reality. The goal is to give any club the opportunity to reach a new level in the way it manages the well-being and progression of its athletes and the different processes that contribute to its success.”
The FootballISM platform is available in three possible models depending on the chosen plan and features. The acquisition configuration has different values, adaptable to the budget and needs of each club. The most flexible subscription model (SaaS) was developed in order to democratize technology access to all professional and training football, thus taking a solidarity approach with all clubs regardless of their budget or size. The tool streamlines all the processes of a football club and academies. It allows the decision making that has an impact on financial and sporting gains. It iss available to everyone. FootballISM is implemented in clubs on three continents (Europe, America and Africa) and is the technological platform chosen by Liga Portugal for the professionalization of its 36 associated clubs.
FC Ska Brasil is a Brazilian football club founded in June 2019, which aims to train athletes in the U-15, U-17 and U-23 categories for the international market. It emerged from the partnership between the five-time world champion of the Brazilian team Edmílson Moraes, Ambassador of FC Barcelona and the French League, and the Japanese group Skylight Inc. with activity in the areas of financial consultancy, business management and investments.
Seeking to rescue the roots of Brazilian football, the club has a consistent methodology for the training of young athletes. In 2019, with just over four months of field work by the technical committee applying the methodology to the rosters, FC Ska Brasil reached the finals of the Copa Bandeirante of the Associação Paulista de Futebol, becoming champion in the U-17 and vice-champion in the U-15. The championship, which ended in December, served as preparation for 2020, when the two categories will compete in the Paulista Championship.
