Who is filling this in?
Let's talk directly
This application route is for players aged 16 to 23. Every player outside that range goes through us one-to-one.
Send us a message on Instagram with the player's age, position and country, and we'll take it from there.
Message us on InstagramYou qualify — book your call
Pick a time below for your private evaluation call. Come ready, and bring a parent if you're under 18.
Who's on the call?
An evaluation call only counts when the person funding the journey is in the room.
Will your parents, or anyone else who helps make big decisions about your career, be on the call with you?
Bring your decision-maker first
We only do these calls when the people who help you decide are on the call too. Without them, the call wastes everyone's time. Get them on board, then come back and book together.

Let's make sure we can reach you
The number you gave doesn't look like a mobile we can reach on WhatsApp. Pop in your best WhatsApp number and we'll get you booked.
Your starting point
The full route isn't the fit right now — but don't stop. Start developing with the ICON app and build toward it.
See the app →Which date can you attend?
Pick the weekend you can make. You arrive on the Thursday.
We'll email you first when dates open for that month.
You've already had your FREE trial
The FREE trial is once per player. There are two ways back onto the pitch with us:
Train, complete challenges, earn points, and use them to book your next Trial Day.

Thank you. Your application has been received
A member of the Iconic team will call you to go over a couple of details before we confirm your trial date. Keep your phone close and answer numbers you don't recognise.
Check your email now
We just sent you an email from team@applyiconicelevationnetwork.com. It tells you exactly what to expect at the trial, and it's how we'll tell you when your dates are open.
- Open it. Subject: “You're on the list. Read this.”
- Not there? Check Spam and Promotions. Move it to your main inbox.
- Reply “IN”. That tells your inbox we're not spam, so you don't miss your dates.
A scout will also call you. Keep your phone close and answer numbers you don't recognise.
You're locked in for your FREE trial
Besides your FREE trial, this is what we cover in our management service.
What happens now
- Your scout calls you. Keep your phone close and answer numbers you don't recognise.
- They guide you through everything: travel, where to be and when, and how to prepare.
- You arrive Thursday. Friday at 6:30pm you’re assessed and graded from 1 to 5. Over the weekend you’re told your club and travel there, and your club trial starts Monday.
Where your grade takes you
Based on your grade, we send you to one of our network clubs for your trial.

Your information is in. Someone from my team will reach out personally to book a time with you — but only once you've watched this video all the way through. We can see who finishes it.
Watch it with your family
The video explains everything. There is nothing else to read, nothing else to ask — it's all in there.
- ▸How we really get players signed, and how far we can take you.
- ▸Exactly what happens once you're in — and what it takes from you.
- ▸Everything you'll be asked to decide.
Sit down with your parents — or whoever decides on your career — and watch it together, to the end.
