About Us

The human team
behind the algorithm.

AKARI was established in 2020 in Antwerp, Belgium — born from conversations with football clubs about modernizing scouting through data.

Who we are

Built with clubs,
for clubs.

We didn't start from a spreadsheet — we started from the touchline. Talking with sporting directors and scouts, the same frustrations kept coming back: too slow, too narrow, too dependent on other people's information. AKARI is our answer.

  • Faster than physical scouting

    AKARI data lets clubs move before the market — screening continues even when no scout is in the stands.

  • Global reach for every club

    Even smaller clubs scout 500+ competitions worldwide — coverage that used to belong only to the very rich.

  • Independent & proactive

    Work proactively through screening and evaluation, without relying on external info or agents' agendas.

  • Your data, yours to keep

    Reports, shortlists and knowledge stay at the club — managed and saved in one central platform.
