Young Bafana has entered into a partnership with Core sports capital (CSC), a Swiss based company, which owns and manages soccer clubs with a high growth potential with the aim of delivering long-term sporting and economic success.
CSC owns and manages French Ligue 1 club CLERMONT FOOT 63 and co-owns SC AUSTRIA LUSTENAU of Austria and FC BIEL-BIENNE based in Switzerland. This partnership will create a pathway to Europe for young South African players.
The Elite Football Development Program will incorporate the U11 and U12 age groups and will be implemented under the guidance of CSC’s youth coaches. This specific training philosophy was responsible for the development of some of Africa’s biggest talents, including the Toure brothers, Gervinho, Salomon Kalou and many others.
Within the program, players will train 5 times a week and be driven and guided by a professional approach and an adapted philosophy which will be tested and monitored on a weekly basis to ensure that the highest standards are maintained.
