Talent Is Everywhere.
Opportunity Is Not.
Pitch2Pro was built on a simple belief: the next great soccer player shouldn't need a $10,000 showcase budget or a connected parent to get seen. They just need a pitch, a camera, and a fair shot.
A soccer competition, a reality show, and a pro-scout content engine.
We created Pitch2Pro because the youth soccer talent pipeline is broken. Pay-to-play showcases favor families with money, not kids with talent. Closed academies gatekeep opportunity. And thousands of gifted players never get seen by the right people.
Pitch2Pro changes that. We bring 40 players into one house for 14 days of daily competition, professional content production, and transparent data‑driven rankings. Every match is filmed. Every stat is tracked. Every player gets a highlight reel and a fair evaluation.
The result? The Next XI — the top 11 players announced at a Grand Event attended by scouts, sponsors, and the most dedicated fans. It's not just a competition. It's a launchpad.

Our Core Values
Transparency
Every ranking, every stat, every evaluation is public. No backroom deals. No hidden agendas.
Safety First
Licensed medical staff, background-checked coaches, and a full-time welfare officer on site every day.
Data-Driven
Proprietary analytics track every touch, pass, and sprint. Talent is measured, not assumed.
Content Engine
Professional cameras capture every moment. Players leave with highlight reels that open doors.
Equal Access
Talent is everywhere. Opportunity should be too. We actively seek players from underrepresented communities.
Community
Fans vote. Parents watch. Sponsors invest. Pitch2Pro is a movement, not just a competition.
