Every year, the Belgian Pro League and the Belgian Football Association establish a ranking of the Belgian youth training facilities. Anderlecht came in first place, before Standard de Liege and Bruges.


It’s not the results of the youth teams or even the first team that count. It’s the data that relates directly to the quality of the facility, such as training structures or social support.

Benoît Thans, director of the Belgian Football Association confirms: “There are some very nice youth centers in Genk, Gent or Bruges, but Anderlecht steps it up a notch. For example, the medical staff’s office overlooks the training pitch. It’s little things like this that show how well youth players are surrounded."

The battle for youth players is, at the moment, dominated by Anderlecht. Besides the financial security, Anderlecht can now convince players with -officially- the best training facility in the country.
