FC Bayern has expanded its digital offering on social media channels with an additional Instagram channel @fcbayernpathway from 24 February. The aim is to align itself even more closely with the needs of its young fans around the world. @fcbayernpathway is to become a digital platform for ambitious and talented youth footballers from all over the world. “From grassroots to elite, authentic development opportunities for youth players worldwide” is FC Bayern's motto, under which talented young players will find all content relating to the club’s development programmes in one place. The Pathways programmes are fully integrated to enable progress and opportunities for advancement in all age groups. The international youth coaching team led by legends Klaus Augenthaler, Roy Makaay, Diego Contento and Bernd Dreher will provide valuable, personal dialogue. Of course, FC Bayern also wants to support the people behind the players. In the so-called ‘Nex Gen’ colours of FC Bayern black and green, the offer also stands out visually.
More than 20 players have already become professional footballers through FC Bayern's Pathway programme - in Europe or in their respective home leagues. The development programme has even produced players for national teams. The FC Bayern Pathway programme is unique in the world of sport. Only FC Bayern can present talented players such a holistic, highly professional and seamless international pathway from grassroots sport to professional football. Only recently, Maycon Douglas made the leap from a partner programme in Thailand to FC Bayern's U17s team. Maycon had successfully completed both the Global Academy and the World Squad.
