Northvansteve Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Midfielder. Class of 2006. Named to FC Bayern's "World Squad": FC Bayern World Squad 2024 Played for Cavalry at the end of the 2023 season on a developmental contract. I have no idea if this Bayern "World Squad" is anything more than a marketing vehicle but still seems like a good move.

InglewoodJack Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 From what I can see, FC Bayern World Squad basically puts together a ton of U19 players from around the world to train at Bayern facilities and it's all wrapped up in a YouTube series tracking their progress with the final being a match against Bayern's actual U19s. I think some of the best players get the chance to train with Bayern and the goal is to get them on the radar to sign professional deals elsewhere. This year, I believe the camp takes place in the US, and they're playing in The Soccer Tournament, that 7 a side tournament from last year with a bunch of US teams, European teams, a few women's teams, so on. Some players end up getting pro deals- one guy from last year's squad was signed by Nice B, one to Viktoria Plzen, but others end up across Asia, USL, so on. It reads a lot like soccer's version of AAU basketball. NVsoccer, Dominic94 and Ottawafan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does show the gap between being a really good youth player and being a professional. The kids on the show made the cut out of thousands and most will likley never earn a steady cheque from playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
