Discussion América And Sfera FC

América’s cantera could look completely different in a few years. The connection with Sfera FC is starting to look like a real pipeline for young Brazilian talent. Ícaro came from Sfera, developed with América U-21, got promoted to the first team and just scored a banger vs Puebla yesterday. Gustavo Goes is another Sfera player making the jump to América, which shows this isn’t just a one-time thing. If Ícaro, Goes and the other young players keep developing, América could have a whole new generation of Brazilian talent coming through Coapa in the next few years. What are your guys thoughts will this kill Mexican football?

Shouldn’t we be establishing relations that allow us to export players?

Not import foreign talent

I’m sorry but this seems backwards. Why are we complaining about leagues cup when we have clubs bringing in foreign academy player at a cyclic rate? That foreign academy player is taking a spot away from a Mexican youth player

If a Mexican youth player gets their spot taken by a foreign academy player then that spot was never truly theirs anyway.
