The detection and analysis of talent in professional football is undergoing a profound transformation. The use of predictive systems and the analysis of large volumes of data are revolutionising the way clubs evaluate past performance and anticipate the future evolution of athletes. This technology makes it possible to identify trends that the human eye cannot perceive, discovering talent in youth categories or leagues with less visibility. Sports Data Campus, a leading organisation in the training of experts and the building of the Big Data and sports community, offers a Master's Degree in Scouting Applied to Football [https://english-programs.sportsdatacampus.com/masters-in-big- style=], which prepares professionals to apply a Data-Driven Sports Management approach. The programme includes modules such as BI Visualisation Tools, Video Analysis with Nacsport and Metrica, and talent detection with R and Python.

Strengthening human vision and specialised training

The impact of Artificial Intelligence is not to replace the scout's intuition, but to strengthen it through evidence and context. The combination of technology and human experience defines the new era in the search for sporting talent. AI democratises access to advanced analysis, allowing clubs with fewer resources to work with tools that were previously only available to the major leagues. Prediction systems are also useful for preventing injuries and managing training loads, as they analyse the impact of physical exertion and anticipate risks. The result is more agile, comprehensive and evidence-based scouting, providing detailed profiles that combine performance data, psychological factors and adaptability.

The mechanics of performance prediction

Artificial Intelligence in scouting works by analysing large volumes of data to accurately assess players' performance and potential. Algorithms process technical, physical and tactical information, which is captured using sensors, GPS and high-resolution videos. Each action is transformed into a measurable metric, including speed, completed passes, duels won and areas of influence on the pitch. Machine learning models are essential, as they identify hidden patterns by comparing data with records from thousands of footballers, thus predicting each player's evolution based on their history and competitive context. In addition to predicting development and discovering talent in minor leagues, AI analyses videos to detect movements, tactical decisions and recurring behaviours, automating the process and reducing human bias. This allows scouts to focus on interpreting results rather than spending time reviewing recordings.

The application of Artificial Intelligence in scouting expands the scope of human observation, providing a comprehensive, rapid and objective view that enhances intuition with statistical evidence. The future of scouting points towards a more integrated and predictive ecosystem, where AI-based tools will no longer be exclusive to large clubs, balancing competition by facilitating the early detection of talent in less visible regions. As analysis becomes more comprehensive, including psychological variables and behaviour patterns, the process will become more efficient, fair and aligned with the competitive reality of modern football.
