Trust & Safety

Trust is the product. Every academy is verified, every message is moderated, and minors are protected by design, not by policy alone.

Academy verification

An academy's players are invisible to buyers until the academy's status is Verified. Every academy submits a registration certificate, ID of the owner/director, and proof of address, reviewed by a moderator. An academy's verified country is locked at verification and can only change through an admin-only re-verification. It is never a self-selected dropdown.

Message moderation

Every info request and message between a buyer and an academy passes through moderation. Emails, phone numbers, WhatsApp/Telegram handles and URLs are detected and masked automatically until a moderator approves the message. Every moderation action is written to an immutable audit log.

Minor protection

FIFA Article 19 notice. FIFA regulations restrict the international transfer of players under 18. This platform does not facilitate or encourage transfers that would violate FIFA Article 19 or any applicable national football association rules. Academies and buyers remain responsible for compliance with the regulations that apply to them.

FIFA-licensed agent

A FIFA-licensed agent is on staff to answer transaction-related questions from agents, scouts and clubs, and to review threads escalated by our moderation team.
