At youth level, that is true and not true. The commercial interests are so small at this level, I mean, who really follows the Barcelona U17 side and what they do? Of course they do matter to an extent, like with the Nike International Friendlies hosting the best Nike partnered national teams in the US.
eagerly waiting to see how our boys perform. Havent had much news of our U-17 lads of late. Anyone close enough to share pics of their practice sessions?
@soham_de The ISL team through their grassroots festivals select the basic bunch. After all the teams are done with their grassroots programme kids (the alleged best each club found) are sent for further screening to the mega hunt from there a bunch of kids(24 last year) are selected for RFYC
Personally I am 50/50 on this. 50% that we can actually find something from this and 50% that this is complete bullshit.
I mean, all their videos on social media about the RFYC players seem to bad... like, scoring against some bad opposition (almost seems to easy) with the worst shots and fields.
It better not be long term and teams better start their own academies, proper ones, soon.
