Football Talent Competition Programme

Football

The Polgar Foundation invites applications for highly talented 11 and 12 years old boys in football.

The aim of the competition is to find disadvantaged young people, especially Roma youth, who want to deal with football seriously, but lack the opportunity to attend a sports club or sports union that is necessary for the development of their talent and building of their football carrier.
