Find the right people. The right opportunities. The right services. Coaches, educators, fitness coaches, video analysts, scouts, physiotherapists, managers: the skills that keep a club running do exist, but they’re hard to find. They circulate through WhatsApp groups, address books and word of mouth. The result: a club spends weeks searching for a candidate who was actually just twenty kilometres away, whilst a qualified professional remains overlooked due to a lack of connections. Ballium exists to put a stop to this. We are building a verified, geolocated directory of football professionals. Every profile is based on verified qualifications (UEFA, CAF, FIFA, state-recognised qualifications), documented experience and a confirmed identity. Clubs, academies, leagues, federations and training organisations can search by role, qualification, language, availability and distance. On this basis, the platform takes users from search to assignment: bespoke services at listed prices, one-off assignments, job vacancies and events, with secure payment and funds held in escrow until the service is completed. Our belief: value comes not from the volume of profiles, but from verification. A badge that cannot be bought. A directory where you can actually find what you’re looking for. Ballium is launching in the Île-de-France region, before expanding to the rest of France and French-speaking Africa (Morocco, Senegal, Algeria, Côte d’Ivoire), with payment methods tailored to each market from the outset. Are you a coach, trainer, analyst, fitness coach, scout, physiotherapist or manager? Are you recruiting for a club, academy, league or federation? Join the network. Ballium.ai
