We also visited the Sao Paulo FC youth training center. It was an amazing complex. They have 11 fields (10 natural grass and 1 turf). Over 300 boys train there, with 65 between 14-18 years old residing onsite. They have their own medical doctor, dentist and even a podiatrist on site. Ka Ka was discovered by this program and they're looking for the next great one. As Fernando says "It's a business" because clubs sell rights to the players that they develop, sometimes for millions of dollars (Santos recently sold rights to a player for $100M).
