サンダーランドAFCさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サンダーランドAFCInstagram)「Sunderland AFC Women are delighted to announce that the club's request for an FA Professional Game Academy has been approved. The new team will compete against other academies from the Women’s Super League and the Women’s Championship. The Lasses’ academy framework will now fully integrate the Club’s historic Regional Talent Centre, which will become Sunderland AFC Women’s Academy. A pathway from Under-10 to Under-23 will support the first team and give players a clear route from a young age through to professional football. The team will predominantly play on Wednesday afternoons, and will combine careers and education with football. Sunderland Women’s academy has a long standing within the women’s game, producing a host of England internationals including Jill Scott, Steph Houghton, Lucy Bronze and Jordan Nobbs. In the current first-team, Neve Herron, Katy Watson, Grace Ede, Jessica brown and Libbi McInnes have all represented the Lionesses at youth level. The Club’s youth sides have enjoyed a successful season. The Regional Talent Centre’s Under-16 side beat Charlton 3-1 in the FA Youth Girls’ Plate Cup Final. Domonic Bylett’s Under-23 side are on the verge of winning the Durham FA Women’s League One title, unbeaten in their 18 games so far. We are actively taking submissions to join the Academy - for more information head to safc.com.」4月28日 19時08分
