A digital platform designed to revolutionize the way footballers, coaches, clubs, academies, and fans interact within the sports community has been launched in Accra.
The official launch of the Socaloca app, in collaboration with the Ghana Football Association, was held along with football games for men’s and women’s teams in the lower-tier leagues at Wembley Plus.
The app is designed to collect and collate data on local footballers in order to enhance their visibility and market value on a global scale.
The official launch was held along with football games for men’s and women’s football teams in the lower tier of Ghana football at Wembley Plus.
In the men’s game, Desert Warriors beat Mighty Fortress 5-4 on penalties while Halifaz Queens defeated Teshie Queens 2-0 to win the women’s game.
Speaking at the event, the co-founder of Socaloca, Lionel Foy, said the football app will help Ghana football and players immensely.
“A lot more people are aware of Socaloca and the benefits that it can create within the football industry. Today was not only about talent development but also awareness for not just the football clubs but also the players” he told GHOne TV.
Meanwhile, George Aforklenyuie, the Greater Accra Regional Football Association Board Chairman, praised the creators of the Socaloca app for its potential to expand global opportunities for Ghanaian players.
“The Socaloca app is here to expose further the data and performance of Ghanaian players and then teams to the world for good opportunities because our players will no longer have to justify themselves abroad as Socaloca will produce their data” he said.
Socaloca offers a platform for young footballers to showcase their skills and gain visibility from scouts, agents, and clubs through features like video sharing and match tracking.
