Soccer schools and academies are two completely different things. If one is considering football school as well then you missed fcb escola

But we here are only discussing about academies with long term plan. Not fcb escola who just hold soccer camps for large amount of money.

What Manchester United and Boca Juniors etc do in India is no different to what they do in America. Camps, small academies and shit but no end product really. 100% of the players in the US come from other academies... real academies like the Red Bulls one to club teams like Torpedos. I have heard from people who were part of the MU, Barca stuff but for the most part it was either a thing they did while also playing for a club or a small camp.

Point... useless like @Ashlesh said.

I think Inter and atletico academy that are gonna open will focus more on grassroots...others are just time pass summer camps for rich lads who want to take a picture or two and showcase it one facebook....
