Tarkan Batgun with fantastic "Keynote" speakers during the final hours of Social Football Summit in Stadio Olimpico-Roma : Nicola Innocentin - GLOBAL FOOTBALL SERVICE (CY) LTD.

You need certain style of players to adapt to your team. Especially multiple club ownerships require properly set-out player portfolio management where we utilize platforms like Comparisonator" Cenk Ergün - Former Football Director - Galatasaray SK "We used to receive VHS video cassettes, dvd's with fast motion footage to show players faster. From those days, the industry moved a lot. Now we have the ability to find the suitable players start from data, enabling our scouts to follow players who deserves our times and attention. So AI and Data mix in the transfer process makes everything faster and more accurate" K. Tarkan Batgun - CEO Comparisonator "Ahead of Italy & Turkiye hosting the European National Championship, Both Italia & Türkiye need to cooperate more, play youth tournaments, camp together, and make more symposiums like #sfs24. Beside this, I am very happy that our mobile app is now writing & reading and speaking through AI technology.
