Methodology & safeguarding
A ranking is only as trustworthy as its method — and only as responsible as its limits. Here is how this board is built, and what we deliberately never publish.
How we rank
- Public sources only: official league/club data, match results, reported news.
- Editorial review by sport: form, role, level of competition, trajectory.
- Each entry carries a “last verified” date; boards refresh each window.
- Corrections welcome from players, clubs or guardians — fast takedown.
What we never publish (U18)
- No private contact details for any minor (phone, email, address, socials).
- No home location finer than prefecture.
- No agent/club “leads” or introductions involving minors.
- No AI-generated scouting narratives about named under-18 players.
SportsPulse Global is an editorial intelligence platform, not a recruitment agency. Practices align with FIFA minor-protection principles and Japan’s APPI (and GDPR for EU readers). Read the full policy →
