The European football landscape is in constant flux. New and emerging nations are constantly challenging established powers to become the continent’s elite teams. Top players from smaller countries are beginning to receive the same treatment as their more prominent counterparts elsewhere in the world. Football academies in Europe are starting to adopt a more progressive approach to youth development, and they’re starting to reap the rewards of their efforts.
Football academies around Europe are starting to adopt a more progressive approach to youth development, and they’re starting to reap the rewards of their efforts. The “Academy Revitalization” movement has been slowly taking hold for several years now, but it seems like there will be significant impact on how European clubs develop players over the next few years. Clubs that establish an academy outside their home country usually have limited options when it comes to developing talent beyond amateur level and giving youngsters a platform from which they can succeed at professional level.
This is becoming less of an issue as clubs begin establishing satellite football academies around Europe that operate completely independently of their main club locations. We take a look at some of the top football scholarships in Europe for prospective students looking for additional opportunities after high school graduation or college enrollment.
The Bundesliga’s B-Recruiting
The German Bundesliga has made considerable strides in recent years when it comes to developing homegrown talent. The league has foreign player quotas and salary restrictions in place to ensure that the best German players are given a chance to compete at the highest levels of the game. But the Bundesliga has also taken a concerted effort to develop young German players at the grassroots level.
This is done through the B-Recruiting initiative. Bundesliga clubs are encouraged to sign up to five amateur players between the ages of 18 and 21 every year. These players are given the opportunity to train with and receive professional attention from Bundesliga clubs in order to develop as players. But there is also a strong educational component to the initiative.
Bundesliga clubs are tasked with providing mentorship and job training to the players, who in return are required to work for Bundesliga clubs for at least six months of their professional career. The players are placed in various positions where they have the opportunity to train and develop the skills that are most useful to the workplace.
La Liga’s Crib Academy
La Liga has also been investing heavily in grassroots development, partnering with the La Liga Foundation to implement a Crib Academy programme in Spain. The Crib programme is intended to create an all-encompassing, long-term plan to revitalize football development in Spain.
The La Liga Foundation and the Liga de Futbol Profesional (LFP) have teamed up to launch the Crib Academy in a bid to improve the reputation of Spanish football and produce more professional players. Crib Academy participants are selected by the La Liga Foundation, which works alongside its affiliated football clubs. Once selected, participants undergo a rigorous selection process that includes sport science, medical and psychological testing.
Once approved, the participants are placed in a specific Crib Academy team that works with coaches and medical staff from the Liga de Futbal Profesional (LFP) to train and support the participants on a daily basis. The participants are also given access to a state-of-the-art Football Crib facility with unique facilities including an indoor training centre, four outdoor grass fields, a gym and recovery areas. All of this is intended to help the participants develop their football skills and professionalism.
Premier League’s Elite Football Scholarship Programme
The Premier League has had a long-running Elite Talents Pathway programme in place since 2007. The Elite Football Scholarship (EFS) programme offers talented young players the opportunity to train and learn from some of the world’s top football coaches in England. EFS players are placed in professional academy teams at Premier League clubs.
They also receive a salary and travel expenses to cover their expenses while training and playing at their respective academy teams. Since the EFS programme began, over 1,000 players have been placed in professional academies across the country. Participants are chosen based on the criteria of potential, attitude and ability.
There are several different tiers within the EFS programme, with the Premier League clubs that participate offering the highest level of training with elite coaches from the Premier League. The next level down is the Elite Player Development (PD) programme. PD provides a similar level of coaching and training to EFS, but it is done on a smaller scale with less emphasis on the elite coaching instruction.
The Superliga’s Incoming Freshmen Program
The Süper Lig of Turkey is home to some of the best youth development programmes in the world, helping produce some of the world’s best players from the country. The incoming freshmen programme is the crown jewel of these efforts, designed to ensure that the best young players are signed to professional clubs in the country.
The programme is overseen by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF). The goal of the programme is to sign the best young players in the country to professional clubs as soon as they turn 16 years old. The standard for joining the incoming freshmen programme is extremely high, with the federation reporting that only five per cent of applicants are accepted each year. The applicants must meet strict academic requirements.
This includes passing the TFF’s entrance exam and completing a mandatory course on the rules of football. Selection criteria also include the players’ physical ability and leadership qualities, with the federation reporting that only a small percentage of applicants are female. Once accepted into the programme, the players are placed in professional academies where they train and play professional football. These players also receive a salary and travel expenses from the federation.
Spanish Youth League – F.A.Y.L.
The Spanish youth leagues have become the undisputed leader in youth development in Europe. F.A.Y.L. (Football Association Youth League) is a system that provides a unique platform for Spanish youngsters to compete at the top levels of football.
The league was founded in 2011, and it is run by the Spanish Football Federation, but it is linked to La Liga clubs that operate independently of their La Liga brethren. F.A.Y.L. competition is designed to ensure that the best Spanish youngsters are playing at the top level of Spanish youth football. The league is composed of six regional divisions with promotion and relegation between the divisions.
The top two teams from each regional division will play off in a two-legged play-off for a place in the national championship, with the winner earning promotion to the La Liga academy system and the loser earning promotion to the regional league.
Serie A’s Center for Women’s Football and Training (CFCF) and Pro Training Center for Males
The Italian Serie A league has also invested heavily in youth development and is making significant progress in the progress of women’s football. The league has a strong partnership with the FIGC (Italian Football Federation) in order to promote women’s football in the country.
The Serie A also runs a youth women’s league, the Women’s Serie A league. The league is also home to one of the most advanced men’s youth football training centres in the world. The Pro Training Center for Males (also known as the A.S. Pro Training Center for Males) is a state-of-the-art football academy for boys that operates independently of the youth league system. The center was opened in 2016 and is located in the city of Fuorigrotta, just outside of Naples.
The centre is run by the FIGC and funded by various industry partners, with the FIGC being the main financial backer. The training centre is for boys aged 6 through 18, and it is used by over 100 youth teams from around Italy. There are only three such training centres in the world, and only one of which is outside of Italy: the Dutch A.S. Etten-Leur Training Centre.
