U20 Discussion & Announcements

[TDC]

Pretty decent indeed.

[Shahzaday11]

I said I would pull PAK for at least one season with my main deluxe academy and I will.

Pretty good start.

Thanks for the pull and its good one.

Would you like to join our National team for their support?

Hello everyone,

Thank you again to everyone who voted for me to continue leading the U20 side. We are looking for dedicated assistants to help take this team to the next level. This involves scouting of the farm systems, tactical suggestions, and media posting. Please reach out if interested. Thank you!
