 The Jamaica

reliable foundation for future squads. This approach allows for a
larger pool of players to receive opportunities at the international

A number of the World’s leading
football nations such as Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Mexico and
Netherlands can attribute their current and continued success to
strong and highly organized youth development programmes. In
particular Ajax Amsterdam of Netherlands is a global model for youth
development in football. Such programmes hone young talent and filter
them into their respective national senior squads.
