Tenorio: MLS contemplating removing homegrown territories, allowing teams to scout in each others’ regions

Major League Soccer is considering eliminating homegrown academy territories, according to multiple team technical directors, a move some believe could significantly improve the country’s domestic player pool. The technical directors cautioned there is still plenty left to decide regarding how such a change would occur—most believe there would still be some sort of protections in place for MLS teams within their markets—but they are confident that the change will occur in the near future.

“It will happen,” one technical director said.

Under current rules, MLS teams are prohibited from looking for youth players in territories that belong to other MLS teams. The change would likely not be introduced until at least the latter half of 2019, when the 2019-20 development academy season begins, or perhaps not until the start of the 2020 MLS season. Any new regulations still have to go through multiple layers of approval, from the meetings of the clubs’ chief soccer officers (one of which is currently taking place in New York) to the product strategy committee made up of a small group of owners to a final vote by the MLS board of directors.

If this passes, CFG is going to invest massive funds in American scouting.

This could be the bridge to residential academies, which I think is the missing piece/ bridge to a much better MLS and a much better USMNT.

That opens a much bigger question.... logistics of housing adjacency to schooling to training/playing environments. Ideally, they’d all be together to cut out transportation within the NYC metro area. This leads back to the Harlem Yards project that leaked earlier in the year that had the stadium, a soccer school, and housing all-in-one. Makes one wonder if that’s gonna be revisited or if the Garage site has the space for everything.....

I mean a simple google search shows he hasn’t played in a single NYCFC academy game this season... sooooo I’m not saying he’s already there (rolleyes) just that he’s definitely not here.

He's not even rostered on any of the teams.

How do we convince the best talent in our academy to sign with us if Gio is fucking off to Germany?

I think the question is more how do we convince the best talent in our academy to sign with us without being able to provide decent playing time, in MLS or in a USL affiliate.

I think the Gio situation is a unique one that most likely will not occur all that often.
