23 Girls Academy call-ups in 2025-26 — 33.8% of the U15 pool, up from 9.5% last year. That’s not a small bump… that’s a major jump.

14 players from 11 GA clubs earned spots. That kind of club diversity also says something important: talent identification in GA is broadening, not concentrated.

The gap between GA and ECNL is continuing to narrow and arguably shifting at younger age groups.

the quality gap is not narrowing. it is actually getting bigger in terms of quality. GA may be adding more teams, but they are terrible clubs.

Cope however you need to bro.

.

At younger age groups the balance is shifting. There are GA teams that can beat ECNL teams any day of the week at younger age groups.

Impossible to imagine a market leader losing their position. They shouldn’t even try.

No 1st team players went to VDA, only a couple of 2nd team players. And that's ok! VDA has to take in developed players from elsewhere!
