The week has been busy for the young people of the PSG Academy. On the occasion of the World Cup, the club did not hesitate to put the small dishes in the big ones. A program has been carefully organized to allow some 400 children from all over the world to have stars in their eyes.

Since 2015, the Paris-Saint-Germain club, reigning French champion, has created its own structures abroad for young people looking for football advice and exercises. After seven editions, the “PSG Academy” still offers football courses in Brazil, South Korea and Rwanda at “the PSG requirement“.
And on the overseas side, the Parisian club has been able to develop two structures, one in Martinique and one in Guadeloupe, mixed for the World Cup. A session was recently organized in Guyana, which “went perfectly and was very enriching”, according to coach and former professional Julio Colombo.
For children to participate in the tournament, it is not enough for them to be the best. Selected by coaches according to the positions, placements and their automatisms with others, not everything is necessarily pure talent.
These are “the most deserving” who will participate in this World Cup, justifies the former Guadeloupe player Julio Colombo. His role as a coach, which he is proud to embody, is an accompaniment both on and off the field for young people who are perhaps discovering for the first time the requirement of training like this. .
But despite a busy program, between football, visits and ceremonies, the young people and their companions intend to go to the end of the competition. Arrival from the West Indies on Sunday May 28 in Orly, the delegation began the week with a tournament in Tremblay-en-France then continued with a confrontation of the U15 women once morest Paris FC.
Before the start of the competition, which takes place from June 2 to 5, the young players were able to meet many personalities from the world of football and visit professional infrastructures. After a visit to the Camp des Loges (PSG training center), the young West Indians were able to benefit from advice from Zoumana CAMARA, emblematic coach of the PSG U19s.
And the surprises didn’t stop there… On Friday evening, following a visit to the Parc des Princes, an opening ceremony was organized by the club honoring the various selections. Music, artists, presentation of the teams, everything was there, like a miniature World Cup.
The next day, all the members of the PSG Academy attended the last match of PSG, that of the delivery of the trophy of champion of France. All delegations were invited to do a lap of honor of the Parc des Princes before the start of the match.“Pride” for Warren, 11, from Basse-Terre in Guadeloupe. And for this young striker, very happy to participate in the competition, he recognizes that the United States and Qatar are particularly “forts” but does not stop believing in his selection, “We want to bring the title back to Guadeloupe, if we work hard, we are capable of it.”
Same story on the side of Leilou, who is part of the women’s U15 selection: “It is a great happiness, I had never done it before. It’s a huge opportunity, I’m in a dreamSo let’s wait and see if the results live up to the move.
For the U11 selection, the PSG Academy Antilles ranked second in the general table with a total of three wins and a draw, along with the United States, first on the difference in points.
For the U13 selection, the children were also ranked second in their group behind Brazil.
Finally, the U15 women came up once morest stronger ones, and were at the heart of a pool at the high level, an encouraging defeat despite the victory once morest a big team from Qatar 3-1.
