Player Pathways

 Auckland United Football Club understands that many young players aspire to achieve their greatest dreams in football. The Academy programme implements unique philosophy and methodology, masterminded by Hiroshi Miyazawa, which has resulted in a proven track record of player development and providing pathways into professional football and US Colleges.

In early 2021, Auckland United was delighted to announce an exciting partnership with the famous J-League club JEF United and the city of Ichihara to create opportunities for player exchanges between the entities. Following this, Auckland United also founded an official relationship with Striv3 - Sports Management to provide players with a clear pathway into US Colleges and help with the entire process.
