"About 50% of the players don't know they are even eligible" A direct quote from International Football Consultancy director @russgurr isn't that an amazing outcome of knowing every football player in the worlds heritage? lnkd.in/gMHUvqix

So, let me get this straight… When delving into football member association departments. There is no overseas talent ID comms strategy? And there is no overseas talent ID resource? Wild.

I've often wondered, what does a country or member association gain by qualifying for a World Cup? If a player or two from overseas significantly improved the squad that qualified, how valuable is that to the member association? @russgurr

If you work for a member association and looking for overseas talent, it’s not about posting on social media, hoping one of your followers will go out of their way to find a player for you. It goes much deeper than that! Create a sustainable overseas recruitment process....

Replying to @russgurr
@russgurr and I work with member associations who don't have the resources or time to enhance overseas scouting strategies. This has proven to directly impact results on the field, providing head coaches and the technical department with more options when selecting squads.

Congratulations to @FijiFootball_ with a 1-0 win over Solomon Islands at the @FIFAcom World Cup 26 Oceania Qualifiers. As we look to increase the Fijian football overseas player pool, if you are know of a Fijian heritage player please get in touch with me. @russgurr

Imagine a nation that has never been to a football World Cup. Then in 2020 I started as an intern which led to being the Chief Scout for Football Federation Samoa, where a global scouting and recruitment strategy was put in place. 4 Years later, that nation goes to the World Cup

One of the proudest projects I have been part of has been unearthing overseas football players for international debuts. I was live on Radio Australia this morning explaining @russgurr and mines scouting for the Cook Islands Football Association. abc.net.au/pacific/programs/…
