Vodafone Turkey launches digital football scouting platform with FC Besiktas

Vodafone Turkey and local football club Besiktas launched what they call the world's first digital football scouting project whose aim is to bring young talents to Turkish football. Named 'Future KaraKartali (Gelecegin KaraKartali),' the service is addressed to children with ages ranging from 8 to 13. Videos of children showing their talents can be uploaded to the Vodafone Park mobile application or to the future website www.karartali.com.

A total of 350 children with the most voted videos will have the right to participate in talent selection stages that will be held in the country's regions. Vodafone Turkey is a sponsor of Besiktas and launched a special programme for its fans called KaraKartal. At the end of November 2017, Vodafone Turkey said it provided Besiktas with a total of TRY 6.5 million during their three-year long collaboration.
