Live Rankings

Real composite scores from real players. Match performance, physical metrics, scout evaluations, and competition level — combined into one score.

Ranked Performance. Real Community.

Everything a footballer needs to get noticed, plus the social tools to stay competitive with your mates off the pitch.

Composite Rankings

A weighted algorithm combining match performance, physical metrics, scout evaluations, and competition level into one definitive score.

Your Leagues, Your Rivals

Spin up a private league, invite your teammates and mates, and settle the who's-best argument with real stats instead of group-chat trash talk.

Pickup Games & Training

Post a pickup match or open training session — venue, time, level — and other players in your area can tap 'I'm in'. Filter by level from amateur kickabout to academy / semi-pro.

Verified Stats

Every stat goes through our verification pipeline. Coach-confirmed and cross-checked with league records for trust you can count on.

Community News

Publish match reports, academy signings, and trial call-ups. Everyone on BallonRank can post — up to three times a day.

Scout Network

Verified scouts and coaches evaluate players on six key dimensions. Build visibility with the people who matter.

Highlight Reels

Showcase your talent with embedded match footage. Trending highlights get featured and boost your visibility score.

Track Progress

Quarterly rankings snapshots let you see your trajectory over time. Watch your composite score and star rating climb.

Two Markets, One Platform

Covering UK grassroots, academy, and non-league football alongside South African youth football under SAFA structures.

Community

Tonight's pickup. Tomorrow's training.

Post a Sunday league fixture short a player, an open session at your local cage, or a finishing drill at the park. Other players in your area filter by level — amateur kickabout through to academy / semi-pro — and tap “I'm in”. No more group chats trying to find a tenth man.
