Founded in 2005, the Paris Saint-Germain Academy reflects the club’s strong commitment to developing young players, both on the sporting and academic levels. Open to boys and girls aged 4 to 17, the Academy offers a unique opportunity for football enthusiasts to embrace the values of a major European club, internationally recognized for its expertise and excellence in youth training.
In France, Foot 5 UrbanSoccer centers host and organize Paris Saint-Germain Academy football courses and camps, providing access to top-class facilities. In 2023 alone, over 15,000 children had the chance to participate in a PSG Academy training program or football camp across the country.
The Academy is the foundation of Paris Saint-Germain and is open to everyone, regardless of skill level. All coaches are trained in the official PSG methodology, ensuring that the playing principles taught during sessions match those used at the club’s professional training center. Every exercise is carefully adapted to the children’s age and ability.
Each season, the top players from different categories of the Paris Saint-Germain Academy gather at Camp des Loges for the Training Experience. For a few hours, children take part in a training session under the guidance of academy scouts and association coaches.
This event helps children recognize their strengths and inspires them to keep improving. Some participants may even progress from the Academy to the Association, with the potential to join the PSG Training Center one day.
Each year, all Paris Saint-Germain Academies gather in the heart of Paris for an international event: the Paris Saint-Germain Academy Cup. The top players from U10/U11, U12/U13, and U13/U15 Girls categories enjoy a unique intercultural experience while being fully hosted during the event.
Over 4 days, participants immerse themselves in the PSG world with a tailored program including:
To be part of Team France, players must be registered at the football school or have attended a football camp, be among the top selected players, and participate in one of the selection camps.
Each season, Paris Saint‑Germain Academy France organizes a national tournament that brings together the top U10/U11 and U12/U13 players from UrbanSoccer centers. This highlight of the season gives young players the opportunity to experience intense competition and proudly represent their center.
