san diego, tijuana - San Diego FC's innovative academy-first approach could set a new standard in MLS youth development, with access to Mexican talent and a groundbreaking training facility.

San Diego FC's Academy-First Model Revolutionizing MLS Youth Development

San Diego FC's unique academy-first approach, led by the Right to Dream organization, is poised to transform MLS youth development. Unlike traditional models, San Diego FC will have the exclusive ability to recruit youth talent from Mexico, thanks to FIFA rules allowing access to the Tijuana metropolitan area.

The $150 million training facility, located 15 miles east of Snapdragon Stadium, will offer a free academy combining residency and a privately operated school, setting a new standard in MLS. The club plans to have the highest operating budget of any academy in the league, aiming to be the epicenter of football excellence in North America.

The club's bottom-up strategy, centered around the academy, has already attracted Mexican international Hirving "Chucky" Lozano, who emphasizes the importance of youth development. The academy's focus on long-term player promises, education, and free tryouts on both sides of the border reflects a commitment to nurturing talent and providing opportunities for young athletes.

The partnership with former Liverpool and Seattle Sounders defender Djimi Traoré, overseeing the academy, highlights the focus on discovering overlooked players and providing them with pathways to professional soccer. With an emphasis on academic aspirations and a track record of success, San Diego FC's academy is poised to revolutionize player development in North America.
