Being at the center, you will meet the Paris Saint-Germain Academy Pro Head Coach and staff (UEFA and FFF licensed), train with the residents, as well as discover the state-of-the art facilities and the environment amongst the international group of student-athletes.

The tryout at the center ensures a comprehensive analysis of players’ skills and abilities, separated into 3 key areas.

Finally, the assessment will be completed via separate in-person meetings that will be set within the trial period:
  • With the Head of Football Development to understand the player’s personality traits (attitude, commitment, objectives, mindset etc.).
  • With the Academic Director to understand the player’s academic background, expectations, and ambitions.
  • With the Academy Pro Technical Director to gain insights regarding their football background, expectations, and ambitions.
