The K17 team defeated Asteras Tripoli in the semifinals of the K17 Championship and qualified to the final, where we will face Olympiakos. The game will take place on Saturday at Agrinio.

Below is a link to a very interesting article, framed through a view of Shakhtar's youth setup (among many, many more things). Somehow I doubt we're this organized.

In less than two years working together, they have overseen Shakhtar?s rise to number five in a 2015 ranking of Europe?s most prolific academies. Though that ranking is aided by Shakhtar?s ability to place its graduates in weaker domestic leagues, it does prove that Funderat and Cardoso can nearly guarantee any boy who joins the academy a path to play football for a living, instead of the increasingly dire alternative.

 

 

Is this our future? The poorer Greece gets, the more attractive these opportunities look.

is this the same group that a few years ago beat Barca....then Gala and some Russian team 9-0 or 10-0?

 

I recall one of the K15 teams being good, but obviously those kids would have aged out. What is clear though that at some levels we have decent coaching.

I remember what you're talking about - this happened two seasons ago, and the kids were very young. This was a tournament that was sponsored by a Russian team, I think? I'm trying to find the article(s) about it now. The squad would definitely still be with the team, it was recent.

It may have been Lokobol 2011 (which our K11s competed in). I can only find one reference to this online:

The PAOK youth teams generally play in the Lokoball tournament, the Lukoil cup and/or the Rimini Cup

 

different age groups have won both those tournaments at one stage and sometimes on multiple occasions
