Since its establishment, Hudl has empowered over 8 million sports professionals with cutting-edge video analysis and performance metrics. The agreement, spanning over five seasons, includes the AFC’s key competitions, such as the AFC Asian Qualifiers™ – Road to 26, the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027™ and the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026™.

 

The initiative also comprises the Confederation’s age-group competitions such as the AFC U23 Asian Cup™ and multiple editions of both the men’s and women’s AFC U20 and U17 Asian Cups as well as the Continent’s premier club competitions, including the AFC Champions League Elite™, the AFC Champions League Two™, and the AFC Women’s Champions League™ across the 2024/25 to 2028/29 seasons.

 

Datuk Seri Windsor John, the AFC General Secretary, said: “Data analytics and technology have become an integral part of modern football in recent years, and the AFC is pleased to sign this scouting rights agreement with Hudl.

 

“This strategic arrangement will not only enhance our data and statistical collection but will also empower our coaches and technical staff with access to more detailed and in-depth information, which in turn will elevate their analytical and scouting capabilities.”

 

“This agreement is a major step forward for clubs, national teams, and analysts across Asia and beyond,” said Hudl’s Elite Partnership Manager, Mateo Bourrut Lacouture. “With the AFC overseeing all top club competitions and the AFC Asian Qualifiers™ in the region, having full coverage on Wyscout ensures that teams can access high-quality video and data for both scouting and in-depth performance analysis of the AFC Competitions. This will empower clubs and federations to make more informed decisions, enhance player development, and elevate the level of competition.”

 

Patrick Murphy, CEO of AFG, said: “The most powerful innovation happens where technology meets tradition. That’s why we’re excited to announce this new scouting rights agreement with Hudl. We look forward to seeing AFC competitions available on the Wyscout platform, giving clubs and football professionals worldwide access to cutting-edge scouting and analysis tools focused on Asian football.”
