KAKERU

Across borders,connecting talent with opportunity.

Every player deserves to be found.

KAKERU is an international web platform — no installation needed — that connects football players with verified clubs, schools, academies and scouts at home and abroad. Through profiles and match videos, it creates chances that don't depend on where a player lives or which country they're from.

📱💻 No installation needed. Use it in the browser on your phone, computer or tablet.

🔒 We protect players' information

Registering with KAKERU is never made public. Only clubs, schools, academies and scouts that have passed identity, affiliation and purpose checks can see profiles and videos. Under-18 players need guardian approval, and scouts cannot message a player freely until the player or guardian approves.

What you can do on KAKERU

Players & parents

Add a profile and match videos and show your potential to clubs, schools, academies and scouts at home and abroad. Be seen for your own play, record, strengths and growth — not just your region or your school's name.

Openings & opportunities

Beyond player profiles, KAKERU lists openings from clubs and schools — giving players a reason to check back regularly.

International network

KAKERU works with local partners in Japan, Indonesia, China, Thailand and beyond to build a network that connects players, clubs, schools, academies and scouts across borders — with shared identity checks, safety standards and player-information standards adapted to each country's football environment.

Our approach to safety

Protecting players — especially minors — is KAKERU's first priority. The safety rules are enforced inside the system, not just on screen, so they can't be bypassed.

How we review

Scouts & clubs

We check the organization, title, purpose of use, child-safety training and conflicts of interest. Only those approved by KAKERU can use the service.

Schools & academies

We confirm the organization exists and the staff member belongs to it, and check openings for improper recruitment or requests for money.

International partners

As a rule one partner per country, with operations, identity checks, compliance with our safety standards and no conflicts of interest set out in the contract.
