We are proud to share that Darko Jankov and Veronika Minoska, from the 2014 and 2013 age groups, have been officially selected and will travel to Villarreal Academy in Spain this May, where they will take part in a one‑week intensive training program.
After six months of continuous, structured work at our academy, this opportunity is another confirmation that quality, when properly guided and supported by the right methodology, is quickly recognized and opens doors to the international football stage.
A real opportunity, not just a symbolic step
The training program at Villarreal Academy is not a reward, but an experience of significant developmental value. It includes work based on the official Villarreal CF methodology, training in a professional environment, and direct exposure to a system widely regarded as one of the best in Europe for developing young players.
Coach Stefan Popovski will travel with the children and closely monitor their training, adaptation, and progress throughout the program, ensuring continuity, guidance, and support at every stage of the experience.
Confirmation that we are on the right path
This selection is a clear indication that Villarreal Masters Academy offers more than just training sessions it provides a real development pathway for young players, from local pitches to the international stage. Our vision remains unchanged: every child deserves an opportunity to grow in a healthy environment and, when ready, to take the next step forward.
Congratulations
Congratulations to Veronika and Darko!
We are incredibly proud of you and truly excited for everything that lies ahead. This is only the beginning of a great football journey.
