The new initiative aimed at U-17 male and female teams will enable member associations that fulfil specific criteria to receive FIFA’s financial support for the organisational expenses of home matches as well as for the travel costs of away games in order to increase participation in FIFA youth competitions.
In the area of domestic youth tournaments, FIFA’s objective will be to help member associations to increase the number of youth competitions in different age groups by means of specific education programmes, teaching material and equipment.
Member associations will be requested to provide a four-year development plan under the guidance of a technical director to be entitled to receive FIFA’s support. “Both programmes are very much in line with FIFA’s intention to support male and female youth football competitions during the upcoming financial cycle in order to increase participation opportunities and subsequently quality, ” commented Hayatou.
