Building a Revolution in How Talent and Leaders Connect in Football | Alejandro Martinez, Globofootball

Success in football - for clubs, players, and agents - is highly dependent on the quality of your network. But is it possible for the football transfer market to be more and better connected?On Episode 55 of the Because Football Podcast, our guest Alejandro Martinez speaks about his mission to create the world’s most prominent football social network - like LinkedIn for the football industry - by connecting clubs, agents, and overlooked, talented players.Originally from Bogota, Colombia, Alejandro played university soccer in the US, which led him to roles in both scouting and ticket sales for Angel City FC, an NWSL club that has set an industry standard in how to cultivate community and connection with women’s soccer fans - at a lightning pace.Through his experiences as a player and within the technical staff of professional football clubs, Alejandro and his business partners realized that not only is so much talent lacking the opportunity to be showcased, but decision makers like technical directors, general managers, and scouts have to rely on outdated, slow, limited methods of relationship building to achieve success in the recruitment.Alejandro’s solution to this lingering problem is Globofootball, a sports and football social network platform.It’s a thought-provoking conversation that may lead to revolutionary changes to how decision makers and talent connect, communicate, and succeed in the football industry.Connect with Alejandro here:LinkedInGlobofootball LinkedIn
