Wyscout Continues Expansion of Global Football Data Coverage in FY 25/26

Daniel, why is this "Record Year" so significant for the market right now?  

"In modern football, recruitment is not just a performance lever—it’s a financial imperative, that’s why it has never been more important to make evidence-based decisions. 

Clubs are expanding their scouting networks globally, looking for talent in less traditional football nations. As clubs use video analysis to scout across the globe, they are able to work more efficiently by generating initial lists for scouts to target. With Hudl Wyscout, we provide unparalleled access to these targets. In October alone, we processed more than 10,000 match videos across 6 continents. This record year isn't just about volume, it's about global reach and providing access to an extensive range of the best professional and youth football content around the world."

The data shows a massive peak between August and October. How does that impact our users?  

"We reached a record number of tagging tasks in October last year, which demonstrated the ability of Hudl Wyscout to scale when the stakes are highest, providing clubs with the intelligence they need exactly when they need it."

Is this record volume a one-off, or part of a larger trend for Hudl? 

"This record tagging volume is the latest milestone in a series of continued growth over the last five years. It demonstrates Hudl’s continuous commitment to provide customers with the most comprehensive database in the industry. We aren't just maintaining our lead, we are actively expanding it to meet the growing needs of the global game."

How does this record amount of content integrate into a modern club’s workflow? 

"High-performance environments need more than just tools, they need an integrated workflow that allows coaches, analysts, sports scientists, and recruitment teams to operate from a shared data language. As a core component of the Hudl Pro Suite, our interconnected ecosystem, Hudl Wyscout allows users to seamlessly send playlists directly to Hudl and then onto Hudl Sportscode with just a few clicks.  This is just one example of how our integrated workflow minimizes disruptions, allowing video, data, physical metrics, and AI-enabled insights to sit in one ecosystem—capturing, analyzing and educating in real time."

The volume of content is increasing but can we still expect the same high quality video?  

"We have over 200 scouting rights agreements in place that guarantee the provisioned footage meets a 1080p minimum within set deadlines. Our rights team is securing content around the world while our analysts, all trained professionals, add an average of 2,500 data points per game. Our systems and workflows are designed to guarantee that the data provided is reliable, actionable, and meets the rigorous needs of football professionals worldwide "

This landmark year reinforces Hudl’s mission to equip the global football community with the most sophisticated, evidence-based tools on the market. By combining unprecedented scale with rigorous quality and ethical standards, Hudl Wyscout continues to define the gold standard for professional scouting and analysis.
