Fulham U21

The Fulham F.C. Academy is a football academy based at Motspur Park in London.

The Academy, headed by director Sean Cullen, runs along the lines of many of the English football academies as deemed appropriate by the national governing body, and recently awarded Category 2 status in the new EPPP guidelines set out by the FA. Players dealt with by the academy can be aged as young as nine years old. As part of their training, young players are guided with the aim to gain a BTEC and NVQ qualification.

The Fulham FC Foundation’s Player Pathway programme offers structured coaching for players with prior football experience (U7–U16), delivered by FA-qualified and UEFA-qualified staff. Training follows a four-corner model that develops physical, technical/tactical, psychological, and social skills. Since 2022, the Academy has used performance-tracking technology from Israeli sports tech company Playermaker. The system’s footwear-mounted sensors collect technical and physical performance data, supporting training design, performance analysis, and inclusivity initiatives across youth squads.
