According to an announcement from Hoang Anh Gia Lai Football Academy , this team has decided to change the contract term with the training academy's students.
"In order to attract talented young players to join the Academy, and at the same time create conditions for players to seek career development opportunities, from August 22, 2024, the Academy will sign training contracts for players. with new students with the provision of serving Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club after completing the training program until the end of the 24th year of age (instead of the end of the 28th year of age as in the previous training contract)", Hoang Anh Gia Lai Football Academy announced.
This is quite a surprising decision of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Football Academy. Previously, players like Xuan Truong, Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Tuan Anh,... all had difficulty finding a new "landing" because of their binding terms until they were 28 years old.
The fact that the youth training contract lasts until the age of 28 has a significant impact on the players, especially in terms of income. Normally, players at other clubs can sign a professional contract at the age of 25 and receive bribes, while players at Hoang Anh Gia Lai have to wait until they are 28 years old to do this.
This change is expected to help Hoang Anh Gia Lai Football Academy attract many talented people as well as help parents feel secure when sending players to the academy.
