Location: UK (Remote + Occasional Club Visits)

Commitment: A few hours per month

Stage: Early-Stage Startup | Salary post-funding

Mission: Helping released academy players stay visible, supported, and connected to football.

About PLYAZ

Every year, thousands of academy players are released, often with no clear path forward.

PLYAZ is changing that.

We’re building a player-first community platform where footballers can share their story, gain support from fans and agents, and keep their dream alive on and off the pitch.

The Role: Football PlayerAmbassador

We’re looking for authentic voices in football : released academy players, semi-pros, or player-turned-coaches who want to use their journey to inspire and connect.

You’ll be the bridge between players, fans, and clubs, showing that release isn’t the end, it’s a new beginning.

What You’ll Do

• Share your journey: Inspire others with your story — the highs, lows, and lessons learned.
• Build community: Connect with released players, coaches, and player-care staff.
• Drive awareness: Use your social presence (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.) to grow the PLYAZ movement.
• Host & engage: Take part in Q&As, interviews, and conversations about life after academy football.
• Feedback: Help us test new platform features and share player insights.

Who You Are

• A released academy, semi-pro, or player-turned-coach based in the UK .
• Comfortable sharing your story publicly and engaging on social media.
• Connected in football circles, teammates, coaches, agents, or clubs.
• Passionate about helping others stay in the game and find purpose.

What You Get

• Equity ownership as a foundingambassador.
• Salary opportunity once funding is secured.
• Direct access to founders, partners, and early investors.
• Priority consideration for future paid roles post-funding.
• Flexible commitment: Just a few hours per month to make an impact.

Why It Matters

This isn’t a “volunteer gig.”

It’s a chance to shape the future of player support to help build something for those who’ve lived it.

If you’ve been through the system and still believe in the game join us and help keep football journeys alive.
