How a 15-Year-Old’s AI App Just Upended Football Scouting
No coding skills? No problem. Hapoel Ramat Gan’s 15-year-old sensation Alon Ben Arush and his dad Harel just used Google’s Gemini + Lovable to build Fut – the app that’s got English football execs proper sweating. The future of scouting just got a massive upgrade… and it started with one cheeky bedtime idea.
Imagine being a deadly talented 15-year-old striker whose highlight reels are drowning in the endless scroll of TikTok, Insta, and Facebook. Scouts can’t find you. Agents ghost you.
Your next big move? Buried under cat videos.
That was the frustrating situation facing 15 year olrd Israeli teen Alon. Until he came up with an ingenious solution: “Dad… let’s build the place where kids like me actually get seen.”
In just two weeks, usung Gemini and Lovable, and working round the clock, eyes glued to the screen, Alon and his father built Fut, the “TikTok for Footballers” that scouts are already calling their new favourite stalking ground.
Fut was approved and LIVE on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
It's the full package:
It’s basically giving every young player their own personal scouting department.
England is already sliding into the DMs
Investors are circling. The English FA is eyeing a full rollout for their youth leagues (yes, the most ruthless talent factory on Earth).
And back home? The Israel Football Association just confirmed they’re in serious talks to plug Fut straight into the domestic youth system.
Hundreds of people are using it already and the momentum just keeps going.
15-year-old and his dad just used AI to fix a problem every young footballer knows too well… and the whole industry is paying attention.
