Sports Interactive Launches Football Recruitment Platform FMDB Pro  

Sports Interactive has launched FMDB Pro, a professional football recruitment platform designed to support the earliest stage of player and staff identification. 

Built for professional environments and tailored for recruitment teams, FMDB Pro brings structured qualitative evaluation into a single platform, providing visibility across players and staff from leagues, levels and regions throughout the global game. 

The platform delivers significant value in early-stage recruitment activity and longlisting, helping clubs identify, compare and assess profiles before progressing into video analysis, modelling and live scouting. FMDB Pro also integrates with Hudl Wyscout, connecting profiles with additional video and analysis. 

FMDB Pro currently covers more than 7,000 competitions across over 200 nations and includes profiles on more than 760,000 players and staff. More than 40 clubs, federations and football organisations are already using FMDB Pro across first-team, academy and staff recruitment activity. 

On the announcement, Sports Interactive’s Business Development Director Richard Trafford, said: “We’re delighted to publicly launch FMDB Pro after two years of concentrated development effort on what we feel can be an industry-leading product. 

“Football Manager, and the iconic database behind it, has helped shape modern football culture with its depth of data and accuracy. Now, this new FMDB Pro team has enhanced that dataset into a professional platform that offers a scalable recruitment tool for clubs, organisations and federations across all levels of football.” 

“The benefits of FMDB Pro are obvious, with more than 40 global clients across multiple industries already signed up, and we look forward to broadening that significantly in the months and years ahead.”
