Digixvalley Solution
Digixvalley designed Driblx as a complete football talent discovery ecosystem focused on visibility, scouting efficiency, trust, monetization, compliance, and long-term scalability.
Video-Based Talent Discovery
Players can upload match highlights, training clips, skill demonstrations, position-specific gameplay, and challenge submissions, giving scouts a structured way to evaluate visual performance.
Scouting Optimization
Advanced filters help scouts and clubs find relevant players by age group, position, height, weight, preferred foot, country, city, free-agent status, and club affiliation.
Secure Monetization
Paid contact unlocks, subscriptions, upload monetization, and points-based rewards create monetization paths while protecting player data.
Minor Safety and Guardian Consent
If a player is under 18, guardian information is required, OTP verification is triggered, consent declarations are shown, and records are stored for long-term consent tracking.

What We Learned
Product Lesson
Football scouting platforms need more than video uploads. Players, scouts, coaches, clubs, academies, fans, and admins each need dedicated workflows that connect visibility, trust, discovery, and recruitment.
Technical Lesson
Sports video platforms should be planned around scalable media handling, role-based permissions, authentication, notification delivery, paid unlock logic, consent records, and admin control from the beginning.
UX Lesson
A Saudi football platform must feel native to Arabic users while also supporting English workflows. Arabic RTL experience, fast video discovery, and mobile-first interaction are critical.
Business Lesson
Sports-tech monetization works best when revenue flows match platform value: uploads, subscriptions, contact unlocks, rewards, and verified scouting access.
