FIFA back yet again with another football development scheme

FIFA, the football world governing body is back again with another of its schemes to keep developing

football.

To ensure football keeps being the number one sport in the world, it’s not resting on its oars and this latest development scheme aptly known as FIFA Talent Development Scheme is coming on the heels of its recent development efforts which include among others the introduction of a new football language, a new football analyses model and new player loan rules.

And in line with FIFA’s most progressive desire, the FTDA was developed to contribute its own quota to the reduction of the level of disparity in football between the world’s different regions.

Thus, it offers bespoke assistance to member associations (MAs) to help them achieve their full potential.

Speaking about it, President, FIFA, Gianni Infantino, said, “One of our over-arching aims is to give every talent a chance. The launching of the FIFA Talent Development Scheme is one of the keys to achieving that objective. It follows on from the ground-breaking analysis of the football talent development ecosystem in over 200 of our member associations and will give boys and girls the chance to maximise their potential.”

FIFA Chief of Global Football Development Arsène Wenger appeared on the latest edition of FIFA’s Living Football show to also explain the programme and how its implementation will be rolled out worldwide.

“I’m delighted that with the launch of the FIFA Talent Development Scheme we’ve taken another significant step towards giving every talent a chance no matter where or when they are born. By launching this programme for global benefit, we can improve the equality of opportunity for players across all six confederations and all 211 member associations.”

The FIFA President’s Vision 2020-2023 targets work towards the goal of having 50 national teams and 50 clubs competing at the highest level for global silverware.

Whilst competitions are drivers of development, TDS also strengthens the solid framework for the pathways that take talent from the point at which they enter the game all the way through to transition opportunities into senior football. In turn, MAs forge relationships with key stakeholders to share responsibility for constructing and harnessing their talent development ecosystem.
