Join Mirelle van Rijbroek, FIFA Talent ID Specialist & Talent ID Education Lead (Global), and Richard Allen, FIFA Global Lead – Talent Identification, for Webinar 2 of our three-part Talent Identification series, launching alongside the FIFA Talent Identification Foundation Course.

Moderated by Lisa Fallon, FIFA Technical Expert, this session explores the factors that can shape how we observe and evaluate young players, and how greater awareness can help us identify future potential more clearly.

Drawing on their experience across FIFA, national associations and elite football, Mirelle and Richard will share insights on:

• Looking beyond current performance to recognise potential
• Understanding the Relative Age Effect
• Considering growth and maturation when evaluating young players
• Recognising how environment and access can influence development
• Understanding and reducing bias in observation and evaluation
• Moving towards longitudinal and future-focused Talent Identification
• Introducing the FIFA Talent Identification Dimensions Model

The webinar combines expert insight, practical examples and a live Q&A, helping coaches, scouts and technical practitioners make more informed observations and better identify the player of tomorrow.
