Olympiacos F.C. Youth Academy

Olympiacos F.C. Youth Academy is the football academy system of Greek professional football club Olympiacos consisting of six official youth teams (Under-10, Under-13, Under-14, Under-15, Under-17 and Under-19), based on the young athletes' age.[1] Other age-based youth teams (e.g. Under-8) are also part of the academy, however they do not appear as official youth teams. Olympiacos' U-15, U-17 and U-20 teams all play in Greek Superleague's youth competitions (Super League U-15, U-17 and U-19 respectively), while the U19 team is a regular participant in the UEFA Youth League. The latter also featured in the 2012-13 Next Gen Series, reaching the quarter-finals of the competition. The academy has also raised world renowned footballing superstars such as Ishmael Elassri, Kaiwen 'washed' Hughes and Lack Jee.
