How to Build a Football CV That Gets You Noticed

The short answer: A good football CV is short, honest and easy to scan: position, key stats, playing history, physical details and a highlight video link. Clubs decide quickly, so clarity beats length every time.

What to include

  • Name, age, nationality and main position (plus a secondary).
  • Current and previous clubs, with level and dates.
  • Key physical details: height, preferred foot, availability.
  • A short highlight video link.
  • Contact details and any honest achievements.

What to leave out

  • Exaggerated claims — they are quickly exposed at trials.
  • Walls of text. Use clean sections and bullet points.
  • Irrelevant detail that distracts from your strengths.
