The Book of Scouting Takes the Stage at Football Conference Istanbul

Seven international football professionals. Seven contributors. One stage in Football Conference Istanbul. 🌍⚽📖

Powered by Comparisonator platform, created a special moment for another project closely connected with our football network:

The Book of Scouting – Volume One: From Intuition to Evidence.

During the official book presentation, author and Comparisonator CEO Tarkan Batgun introduced the philosophy behind the project and invited seven contributors attending the conference to join him on stage:

BARRY SIMMONDS — Football Director
Ceyhun Kazancı — CEO, Kasımpaşa
Fernando Matos — Chief Scout, FC Famalicão
Işıtan Gün — President, Panachaiki FC
Les Reed — Former 1st Vice-Chairman, UEFA Development & Technical Assistance Committee
Nicola Innocentin — Football Director, H-Farm Sports Academy
Riccardo Polacco — Chief Scout, Olympique de Marseille

These were not simply guests invited to be recognised.
Throughout Football Conference Istanbul Footex org, each also stepped onto the stage as a keynote speaker, contributing first-hand knowledge from different areas of professional football.

That connection represents something important to us at Comparisonator.
Technology, data and AI can provide powerful tools. Football knowledge and professional experience give those tools context.

Bringing both together was at the heart of many of the conversations we wanted to create in Istanbul.

BEYOND 90 MINUTES.
