Paris Saint-Germain Women's football department inaugurates youth academy

The first players arrived at the Paris Saint-Germain Women’s Youth Academy on Wednesday, 2 August, the latest step to consolidate the development of the Club’s talented female players.

Thirty-four players aged between 15 and 19 moved into their new ‘home’, which is headed by former international Sonia Haziraj, the Technical Director.

This facility is currently based at the professional teams’ Training Centre in St. Germain-en-Laye, and will later be integrated into the PSG Campus in Poissy.

The players will benefit from optimal conditions and top-level support as they pursue their three-pronged individual project: sports, school, and social development.

The young players will be split into two teams throughout the season, including an ‘Elite’ group which will play in France’s U19 National championship.

Paris Saint-Germain have been developing its young talents through the U19 set-up for several years.

There are currently ten players in the first-team squad that have come through the Club’s academy: Sandy Baltimore, Laurina Fazer, Magnaba Folquet, Grace Geyoro (captain), Océane Hurtré, Marie-Antoinette Katoto (the Club’s women’s team all-time leading goalscorer), Jade Leguilly, Hawa Sangare, Océane Toussaint and Manssita Traoré. They have played in France’s youth national teams with some even having progressed to the senior international side.

"This is a key moment for Paris Saint-Germain and also women’s football in France. Having a dedicated youth academy is a new step that will improve still further the development of young female players. We have an extraordinary pool of talent to draw on, and our goal is for our first team to continue to be made up of talents that have come through the Club. With the future integration of this facility into the PSG Campus in Poissy, the conditions will be even more exceptional and will help the players progress both in sporting terms as well as educationally.”
