The Barbados Football Association (BFA) is set to start the Future Tridents Development Programme when the National Youth Cup competition kicks off on February 9.
This was revealed by technical director Ahmed Mohamed during a recent exclusive interview with THE NATION.
Working under the tagline Train With The Best, Play With The Best, the new competition during its first year will see eight elite teams fielded from the Under-13 Division. The second year would see the introduction of the top players in Under-15s, while year three is set to include the Under-17s.
“Starting this year, the players would be able to train three times a week step by step. The main goal is to focus on the players’ development, as it takes five to seven years on average to develop a player. The Future Tridents Development Programme is not about winning, it is about development,” he explained. (RA)
