The “Talent Identification Program” has been founded in 1997 from the collaboration between ISM International Scouting Center and A.C. Perugia Calcio SPA (formerly playing in Serie A), with the purpose of identifying young talents.

Between 2020 to 2022 ISM International Center has established an official cooperation with AC Perugia, becoming official responsible for the International Scouting U17 – U19, offering the players the opportunity to be signed with AC Perugia.

Since 2023, ISM extended the technical cooperation to other Professional Football Clubs becoming the Scouting Center and Home for development of promising football players.
Our Professional Club Partners invests every year many resources in its youth teams and because of that “Talent Identification Program” plays an important role. The purpose of such Program is to identify young athletes with superior technical and tactical skills, guiding them towards a possible contract with a professional team.

LENGTH

There are two types of “Talent Identification Program”, differing in commitment and duration:
The “Year-RoundTalent Identification Program” that has a duration of 9 months (September to June) that coincide with the school or academic year’s beginning and end.

The “Monthly Program” that has a duration of either 1, 2, 3 or 6 months and can be attended during any period of the football season.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

1st Year

The player enrols in the “Talent Identification Program” (TIP) at ISM International Scouting Center. At the beginning of the Program all players will have a technical and tactical evaluation by professional coaches and subject to a specific technical program.

2nd Year

The players that will take part to the “Talent Identification Program” (TIP) will have the opportunity to train and play with one of our Professional Club Partners. If the player meets the technical and tactical capabilities requested by the Club, the latter will enrol the player with an official membership and, if it’s the case, with a professional contract.
