The Paris Saint-Germain youth academy continues to assert its dominance across French football. Between September 20 and October 7, the reigning champions of French youth development saw 17 players from the Campus PSG called up to various national teams, spanning age groups from the under-17s to the under-20s. This massive influx highlights the club’s ongoing success in nurturing top-tier prospects for international duty.
Seventeen Parisian Prospects Answer International Calls
Feeding the Senior Squad and French Youth Setup
This developmental pipeline directly feeds the senior squad managed by Luis Enrique.
Several academy graduates have earned selection for the senior and developmental French sides, notably Warren Zaïre-Emery with the senior national team, Senny Mayulu with the Under-21s, alongside Quentin Ndjantou for the U20s and David Boly for the U19s.
Heavy Reliance on Parisian Talent in Younger Categories
Within the younger categories, the French national setup relies heavily on Parisian talent. Dimitri Lucea represents the capital club in the U20 squad, while Lucas Batbedat and Adam Ayari feature for the U19s.
The U18 generation includes five prospects from the Parisian system: Mamadou Meité, Noha Tiehi, Seydou Konaté, Jarell Paisley, and Lorenzo Kana Biyik. Similarly, the U17 selection features five PSG talents, namely Jordan Gervelain, Nicolas Gomes, Nathan Mboumba, Maoula Niakaté, and Souleyman Zeghadi.
Extending Campus PSG Reach Into Global Squads
Beyond the French national structure, the Campus PSG contingent extends its reach into international squads. Léo Gnahoré has joined the Ivory Coast U18 setup, Adam Mouak represents Morocco U18, and Elie Karim links up with the United States U17 squad for the international break.
