CT United FC U19 Digital Scouting Challenge

CT United FC is proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership with GoldCleats Global Inc., unveiling a first-of-its-kind Digital Scouting Challenge designed to open new pathways for U19 soccer players across the United States.

This 100% mobile tryout allows aspiring players to showcase their talent directly to CT United’s professional scouts, coaches, and academy directors—no matter where they live.

The tryout uses GoldCleats’ cutting-edge scouting technology, enabling players to upload highlight videos from their smartphones. Through the GoldCleats Player App, U19 players can submit clips—including game highlights—to the dedicated "Scout Challenge."

CT United’s elite talent ID team will review submissions in real time using the GoldCleats Scout App, streamlining the evaluation process and ensuring every player gets a fair look.

This initiative goes beyond just tech—it’s about access. By removing geographic and financial barriers, CT United and GoldCleats are reimagining how players are discovered, offering equal opportunity to talented youth nationwide.

GoldCleats has previously partnered with MLS, MLS NEXT Pro, and MLS NEXT clubs—including DC United, Atlanta United, Capital City SC, and the Colorado Rapids. This CT United collaboration marks a bold new frontier in digital scouting for MLS NEXT clubs.

One standout U19 player will be selected for an all-expenses-paid trip to attend a personalized trial for the 2025–26 season at CT United’s facilities in Connecticut in late July.

The prize includes round-trip airfare and hotel accommodations. To be considered, players must upload their highlight videos—including game footage—by June 15, 2025.
