Keep the first view clear

A reviewer should understand who you are in seconds. Lead with your full name, age or date of birth, nationality, current location, position, preferred foot, height and a professional photo.

  • Name and age
  • Location and eligibility
  • Primary and secondary position
  • Preferred foot and height

Show a verifiable playing history

List clubs, academies, seasons and competitions in reverse chronological order. Separate verified records from self-reported information and add a coach or organisation reference only with permission.

Connect footage to evidence

Link a focused highlight video and at least one longer match. Label the date, opponent, shirt number and position. Avoid broken links, music that obscures the match and clips where the viewer cannot identify you.

Tailor the CV to the opportunity

Check age, position, geography and registration requirements before applying. A relevant application with complete evidence is stronger than sending the same document everywhere.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a football CV be?

One clear page is ideal for the summary, with links to a fuller verified profile and video evidence.

Should I include every statistic?

Include only relevant statistics you can explain and support. Context and verified history matter more than a long list of numbers.

Can ElevenRise replace a PDF CV?

A Football ID can act as a living, shareable profile and can complement or replace a static PDF where accepted.
