Something Imposible on Eyeball

Copa Imposible kicks off May 24–30 in Medellín, Colombia.
In its first edition, it already carries weight.

Built around the U17 level, it taps into one of the world’s most concentrated talent regions at the moment recruitment decisions begin to take shape.

Latin America continues to produce and export elite talent at scale. According to CIES, in 2025, Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia ranked among the top global exporters, reinforcing the region’s importance for early identification.

At U17 level, potential starts translating into action. Clubs move from tracking names to narrowing decisions.

Competitions like the CONMEBOL U-17 Championship mark key moments for international evaluation at the national level. Copa Imposible builds on that, offering a deeper look as players are tested again in a club environment.

We’ve Got You Covered

Over 100 scouts are expected in Medellín, but access alone isn’t enough. Not every scout can be there, and those who are still need video and data to make informed decisions. That’s where Eyeball extends the reach of the tournament.

Eyeball is the exclusive home of Copa Imposible. Follow every moment with 40+ full match videos and 35+ data points per player throughout the tournament week.

Combined, this creates a clearer view of the competition. Talent can be understood with real context, not just moments.

Built to Matter

Copa Imposible creates a high-level international platform in Colombia that connects local talent with global opportunities.

Matches will be broadcast across Disney and ESPN platforms, while Eyeball’s exclusive scouting rights integrate analysis directly into the competition.

The tournament is organized by Fortaleza Fútbol Club, a first-division club based in Colombia with a focus on youth development, and Novo Fútbol, a Colombian talent promoter operating across events, academies, and grassroots football structures nationwide.

Industry access is built into the week. Scouts and decision-makers across Europe, the US, and the Americas are present alongside the players, creating a setting where identification and opportunity sit side-by-side.

A Real Test

Copa Imposible brings together top domestic talent and elite continental academies in a single competition — something not yet seen at this level in Colombia.

At U17 level, players are still forming and decisions are still open. What a scout sees in this window can shape what comes next.

Beyond Imposible

“This tournament is a perfect example of where youth football is heading — not just competition, but ecosystem. Eyeball adds the layer that connects what happens on the pitch with long-term scouting intelligence.”

— Rafa Sanchez Varela, Head of Latin America at Eyeball
