Football ISM originated as a tailor-made project for Sporting Clube de Portugal. At the time, the Academy Director sought a system that would streamline all club operations, encompassing not only the sports departments but also the logistical areas.

By gathering detailed insights from one of the world’s most renowned academies, we developed this comprehensive ERP system for football clubs, which was successfully launched to the market in April 2018.

In 2019, we began our collaboration with Sevilla FC, a seven-time Europa League winner and a regular participant in the Champions League.

As our partner for over four years, Sevilla FC has played a pivotal role in elevating our system to new heights. The club has greatly benefited from having over four years of historical data consolidated in one place, enabling the use of big data, data extrapolation, and predictive modeling to enhance decision-making and performance analysis.

While launching the project with Sevilla FC, we also completed a project with a High-Intensity Training Center for Olympic Athletes, part of the National Institute of Youth and the Olympic Committee in Portugal. The goal was to retain 70% of the system’s core features (such as Medical, Nutrition, Residence, Stock, and Facilities Management) while adapting the football-specific Training Area to suit individual sports, with a strong focus on physical training.

This project allowed us to enhance several aspects of the platform, positioning us to target other sports and expand our reach to universities and additional Olympic Committees.

Expanding our presence in Portugal’s top division, ISM secured partnership deals with Vitória SC, one of the top five clubs in the country, and Estoril Praia, renowned for having one of the best youth academies in Portugal.

In partnership with MBP School of Coaches in Barcelona, we played a key role in helping build a new academy founded by former World Cup champion Edmilson Morais. His vision was to create an academy from the ground up, combining top-tier consultancy from MBP with cutting-edge technology.

Over the past two years, we have been developing and implementing ISM at the academy, supporting its growth and success.

A new project in Barcelona, with the third-best academy in Catalonia, opened the door to connecting with the Head of Methodology at Venezia FC, a former FC Barcelona employee with 10 years of experience.

These two clients contributed to significant improvements in our system, which is now fully utilized by both youth academies and Venezia FC's first team.

Thanks to the work we’ve been doing with Sevilla FC, word spread about the quality of our product and service. As a result, we began a new project with UD Almería's youth sector, further expanding our reach and reputation.

This is what Football ISM is all about. While most AMS systems heavily focus on performance and physical data, we at ISM place a strong emphasis on education. We understand that 99.9% of academy players won’t reach the professional level, and our goal is to ensure that ISM becomes a valuable tool for academies like Right to Dream – Egypt. Our system enables them to track their players' progress not only in football but also in academic performance, nutrition, and psychological well-being.

This project will allow Football ISM to expand for the first time to a group, including the Ghana Academy and FC Nordsjaelland, with the introduction of a Master ISM. This feature will provide decision-makers and group owners with all the essential information at their fingertips, centralized on their platform profiles.

Recognizing the challenge of “closing” a client—requiring buy-in from numerous stakeholders such as coaches, doctors, nutritionists, sports directors, and presidents—we decided to create Coach ISM, a B2C platform that can be subscribed to directly here. More affordable and tailored specifically for coaches and technical teams, this platform offers all the technical functionalities found in Football ISM.

While other products exist in the market, none match the level of expertise and knowledge embedded in our platform, which is built on the experience of top clubs worldwide.

With the launch of three products—FISM, CISM, and SISM—our ecosystem required an overarching brand: ISM Sports. Looking ahead, our core B2B product, Football ISM, will serve as the foundation for several B2C products, including Coach ISM, Nutrition ISM, Medical ISM, and more. Our vision is for professionals to remain within the ISM ecosystem as they transition between roles. For instance, a nutritionist using Football ISM at a partner club could continue working seamlessly with Nutrition ISM in a new role, or a coach subscribed to Coach ISM could easily integrate with a club using Football ISM when they change teams.

Beyond this core structure, we’ve also launched initiatives to create ISM Fan Engagement, an app offering everything fans need, and ISM Agency, a dedicated product for football agents and agencies worldwide.

ISM is excited to announce a significant milestone in our expansion into Africa with the signing of two renowned clubs: Mamelodi Sundowns from South Africa and Petro de Luanda from Angola.

This strategic partnership highlights our commitment to enhancing football operations across the continent, which is rich with talent and opportunity. By collaborating with these prestigious clubs, we aim to bring innovative solutions and expertise that will support the growth and development of football in Africa.

This marks a pivotal step in our journey, as we continue to strengthen our presence and impact in global sports.

ISM is thrilled to announce our new collaboration with FPF (Football Portugal Federation), marking a significant advancement in our commitment to enhancing football operations. We are developing a tailor-made stock management system specifically designed for FPF, which will revolutionize how they manage their resources.

This innovative system will not only streamline stock management processes but also provide valuable insights and efficiency that can be leveraged across our client base. By enhancing the stock management features in Football ISM, we are setting a new standard for how clubs and federations can optimize their operations.

Our partnership with FPF exemplifies our dedication to delivering cutting-edge solutions that empower our clients to thrive in a competitive environment. Together, we are poised to redefine football management for the better.

ISM is excited to announce our latest partnerships with Famalicão and Rio Ave FC, marking a significant expansion in our footprint within the Portuguese football landscape.

These collaborations will allow us to deliver tailored solutions that address the unique needs of each club, empowering them to enhance their operations and achieve their goals on and off the pitch.

Our partnerships with Famalicão and Rio Ave FC underscore our commitment to driving innovation and excellence in football management, reinforcing our mission to support clubs in their pursuit of success.
