 Just like a theater begins with a hanger, world-class football starts with the childhood of its main stars, which usually takes place in a specially equipped establishment- the football academy. For example, as in topbettingonline, the first of its kind 24/7 gambling project, based on the idea of popular sports. Interest grows from round to round as an unlimited number of online players claim the cash prizes.

Today, we offer a list in which we will present the best football academies - 10 football schools that tirelessly provide the football world with the new talented “graduates”.

Anderlecht Football Academy (Brussels)

Belgian football is booming in recent years. The reason for this is a powerful football development program that has breathed life into many football academies around the country. However, the Anderlecht Academy functioned perfectly without any programs. Its most famous pupils are Vincent Company, Romelu Lukaku, Drys Mertens and many others. Even now, Brussels has a lot of “diamonds” in their team, which are “led” by the grandees of world football.

Feyenoord Football Academy (Rotterdam)

Rotterdamians regularly supply personnel for their main team and then for the whole of Europe. The most famous pupils of the Feyenoord Football School are Robin Van Persie, Jonathan De Guzman, Leroy Fer, and others. Well, the latest result of the academy’s work in this club is the Dutch championship (won in the spring of 2017), which allowed the team to return to the group stage of the Champions League finally.

Southampton Football Academy

Academy of Saints is one of the best academies in Britain. Just look at the list of persons brought up in Southampton for the last few years: Gareth Bale, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Adam Lallana, and Luke Shaw. And so many more young talents are preparing to conquer the Premier League and the whole football Europe at the school of football in Southampton!

Brazilian Football Academy “Santos”

There’s not much to comment on - the academy that raised the best footballer in the history Pele and the most expensive footballer in the history of Neymar must be on our list. Because apart from the King of Football and Little Ney (who hasn’t been a kid for a long time), Santos can boast many other graduates - Ganso, Robinho, Diego, Elano, etc.

Dynamo Football Academy (Zagreb)

According to Croatian media, Dynamo from Zagreb spends about 1.3 million euros annually on its academy, which employs about 200 people. At the same time, Dynamo earned more than 60 million euros on the transfers of its students from their academy only for the last 7 years. Not bad, right? There are many names in the list of famous graduates: Luka Modric, Mateo Kovacic, and Alen Halilovic. And we’re not even talking about the legends of the more distant past - Robert Prosinecki and Dario Šimic, for example.

Manchester United Football Academy

Everyone remembers the legendary Ferguson Chicks, Class 92 and everything connected with it, so we will not remind of the fruits of the work of the MJ Academy; we just list the names of persons who were brought up in one of the best football academies in the world - David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, The Neville Brothers, and earlier- George Best and Bobby Charlton. What a breathtaking list!

Sao Paulo Football Academy

While the Santos Academy is known for the scale of its graduates, São Paulo is not only talking about the “loudness” of the names but also about the frequency of their appearance on the horizon. Almost every year, this club shows the world a new star. Then they sell him/her for a lot of money, and at the same time almost every year, they remain among the contenders for high places in the championship of Brazil. Just look at the list of students of the Sao Paulo Football Academy: Rogério Ceni, Cafú, Kaká, Oscar, Lucas Moura, and Casemiro! They’re beasts!

Ajax Football Academy (Amsterdam)

This is another football academy that doesn’t need a long introduction at all because only football amateurs don’t know how they work with young people in Amsterdam. Johan Cruyff, Clarence Seedorf, Rafael van der Vaart, Wesley Sneijder, Nigel De Jong ... and the list goes on!

Sporting Football Academy (Lisbon)

Sporting Football Academy can be included in our list for Cristiano Ronaldo alone. But the fact is that Sporting has given the world many other football talents! Luís Figo, Nani, João Moutinho, Simão, Ricardo Quaresma - they all attended the football school “Lisbon Lions.”

La Masia - Football Academy of Barcelona

And finally, the main Alma Mater of the football world, the school of Barcelona “La Masia,” Other football academies in the world pale in comparison with the success of this school.

In order to understand how cool a football academy works in Barça, one story is enough. The Catalans played against Levante in the away match of the championship of Spain (November 25, 2012). After the Brazilian Dani Alves was injured and replaced by Martín Montoya in the 14th minute of the match, a full squad of 11 pupils from his school appeared on the field near Barça! In addition to Montoya, these were Victor Valdés, Carles Puyol, Gerard Piqué, Jordi Alba, Cesc Fàbregas, Andrés Iniesta, Xavi, Sergio Busquets, Pedro and, of course, the incomparable Lionel Messi. Just an incredible achievement for the top club!

In the above-mentioned composition, we have already listed many legends and simply outstanding players. But this is not a complete list. Barcelona produces football talents on an industrial scale. And such a work of the club football academy causes not only respect but also a genuine delight. Of course, “La Masia” is the best football academy in the world, and will remain such for a very long time.
