Hi, I’m Carlos! A coach, sports enthusiast, and the founder of FCScout.com.
I fell in love with the game at a very young age like many of you. I’ve been following and playing soccer for many years.
Throughout my career, I always enjoyed helping soccer players chase their dreams, which is why I started this website. I wanted to reach a larger audience outside of my local area and fcscout.com was born.
This website is a platform I will be using to update club pages on any tryouts, stadiums, players, tech, and more from clubs around the world. I also create free recruitment profiles for players looking to have that extra competitive edge when reaching out to clubs.
That’s it. That’s my pitch for you to stick around (or browse the site as you please).
This is already too much text for a “see more” drop-down button thing. If you want to reach out to me, head on over to my contact page 🙂

VfL Wolfsburg Football Academy
Welcome to the information pages of the VfL-Fußball.Akademie. The VfL Wolfsburg youth training center has existed at Berliner Ring 45 since 2007, from which the VfL-Fußball.Akademie emerged in 2016. Here, young talent is promoted at the highest level, VfL is way ahead of Germany with its academy. The young players are looked after holistically and not only receive the fine-tuning of football, but also attend school or do an apprenticeship at the same time.
Over 30 of them live in the boarding school or they live in one of the shared apartments in the city. The other players – from Wolfsburg or the surrounding area – use the existing transport service to come to training or a game. The young talents go through the individual junior teams on their way to a career as a footballer and can take full advantage of the excellent conditions at the VfL-Fußball.Akademie. That is what made the promotion of young talent in Wolfsburg so strong.

With the development of a uniform training and game concept, from basic to advanced training to performance and follow-up training, VfL Wolfsburg has defined binding training features that ensure that its talent development corresponds to training that is effective: systematic, age-appropriate, stressful, requirement-based and suitable for competitions.
