Problem Statement / Challenges
Talented athletes across Africa often struggle to get discovered due to limited access to scouting networks and organized recruitment systems. Many rely on informal referrals or local tournaments that rarely lead to exposure. YouPlay set out to bridge this gap by building a digital platform where players can showcase their skills, connect with recruiters, and access verified opportunities. The challenge was designing a trusted, high-energy experience that appeals to both young athletes and professional scouts.
Solution / Approach
We designed YouPlay as a powerful connection point between talent and opportunity. Athletes can create profiles, upload videos, and share stats, while scouts and clubs can search, filter, and reach out directly.
The platform balances performance-driven design with simplicity, using a vibrant yet professional visual style that celebrates the spirit of sport while maintaining trust and credibility.
