In the summer of 2016, our first football team, FC “International Union of Youth (MSM),” was established as part of the MSM International Football Academy in Prague and officially entered into Prague’s Fourth League. In its inaugural year, the team advanced to the Third League of Prague.
Currently, we have three football teams with players of various age groups competing in official Czech championships: the A-Team, B-Team, and U-19 team.
FC “International Union of Youth” is an active participant in various tournaments, cup matches, and league competitions in the Czech Republic, as well as international events. As of 2024, our team competes in the First League of Prague.
The head coach of the A-Team is the renowned specialist, Mikhail Starostyak, who holds a UEFA PRO coaching license. He is a former player of Shakhter Donetsk, the Ukrainian national team, and the former U-19 coach of FC Shakhter Donetsk. Our coaching staff also includes other distinguished professionals: Igor Iukhymenko (former player of Dynamo Kyiv), Martin Frydek (former player of Sparta Prague and Bayer Leverkusen), and Eva Haniakova (former player of Sparta Prague). You can learn more about their careers and achievements in the “Our Coaches” section.
At MSM Academy, footballers from all over the world participate, including players from Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. The MSM football teams are composed of participants from our one-year and half-year programs at the MSM Football Academy in Prague.
To ensure the highest development of sportsmanship, technical skills, and professional game preparation, our training sessions take place on the official fields of the Czech Football Federation, where the Czech national team trains, and on the fields of SK Sparta Prague, which serves as the home field for all our teams. Both training and home matches are conducted on natural grass pitches.
Promising young players from the Academy regularly receive invitations for trials with Czech clubs competing in the First and Premier Leagues, as well as with football clubs in Germany.
