AFC Ajax has one of the best training facilities in the world, maybe not as "high tech" as Milans, but it has worked so far. :D

yup lots of young players come from Ajax:rockman:

yeah, the youth teams of Ajax produce quality talent all the time..

Romania's NT the new one that they built, it's awesome and it's hightech, i'm not sure if a club in Romania uses it for practice as well.

pictures people.....pictures ! big pictures

Milanello, no doubt at all. It's really impresive all the work they do there and how they use new technologies to improve players performance.

by the way, how can anyone say Real Madrid? R. madrid doesn't own a place to train. Currenty they are training in "Las Rozas". That's the spanish federation's training facilities. Madrid has rented it while its new facilities are being build. Why don't you get some information before posting?

Milanello.

no doubt, the technology they have over there is just amazing.

Read about the Milanello.

Sporting's Academia (http://www.sporting.pt/Info/Academia/Ingles/Academia_ING.asp) is considered one of the best in Europe.

Arsenal's London Colney facility is state of the art I don't know about abroad but its the best in england.

The england team train there sometimes, and I remember some german defender wanting to play for Arsenal after training at the complex.

Rangers have very good training facilities

heheh.. sorry bout that.. didnt know it'd show up in Italian becuz i posted the English link :crazyboy: Anyway.. Here it is in English :

Completely restructured and renovated upon Silvio Berlusconi's wish, Milanello is nowadays one of the most prestigious and innovative European sport centres. Located on a hill at 300-m height, at a distance of only 50 kilometres from Milan and close to Varese, Milanello can be easily reached through the highway directed to the Lakes.
The centre, built in 1963, is placed in a green oasis of 160 thousand square metres, also comprising a pinewood and a little lake and it is located between the towns of Carnago, Cassano Magnago and Cairate. The hypothetical boundary line between these towns passes through the middle of Milanello dressing rooms.
Milanello currently represents an important asset not only for the Milan Club, but for the whole Italian football system. This was indeed the objective pursued by Andrea Rizzoli who decided to build it. The continuity has then been ensured by Silvio Berlusconi with his firm willingness to provide to coaches, trainers and players a comprehensive centre designed to satisfy their needs. The ever most advanced facilities of Milanello have often been used also by the Italian Football Association (Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio) for the preparation of the National Team's important competitions, such as the European Championships in 1988, 1996 and 2000.
At Milanello there are six regular pitches, 1 in synthetic grass (35 m x 30), 1 covered pitch with synthetic ground (42 m x 24) and a small-sized outdoor pitch in grass named "cage" because the playing field is surrounded by a 2,30 m high wall and topped by 2,5 m high fencing. Inside the cage, the play never stops, with the ball always in motion in order to enhance the speed of execution. A path running through the woods ca. 1,200 m long at various altitudes is used during the season for the players' physical training (running and biking) and for the recovery of injured players. The main building of the centre is a two-floor building (plus the basement) hosting the offices, the players' rooms, the chimney room, a TV-room, a pool-room; a bar, a kitchen, two dining-rooms, the press room, the meeting room, the laundry, the ironing-room and the medical centre. Next to the main building the "guest-quarters" are located, where also a few players from the Youth Department live. These youngsters, coming from various parts of Italy and from abroad too, go to school as all other teen-agers and in the afternoons attend their training sessions on the field made available to them.
A separate building apart from the main body hosts two dressing-rooms (one for the first team, the other for the youth) and a very modern gym endowed with the most advanced Technogym equipment, one of Milan's prides.
The gym is indeed the area most frequently renovated: in the 2000-2001 season, the indoor training space has been doubled. A highly technologically advanced gym that offers the possibility to work out and evaluate the training schedule of each single player. It is an innovative centre where the players and the staff can use the most recent and sophisticated equipment available worldwide. The renovated Milanello gym equipment comprise machines for training the strength of all muscles and cardiovascular exercises, machines for joints rehabilitation and for evaluation (REV 9000), Technogym Systems (TGS), the "keys" for the setting of individual training programs and rehabilitation protocols.
Milanello is presently considered by all international operators as the Number One Sport Centre in the world. The Italian national team often designates it as location for its retreats in view of important commitments, such as the World Cup or the European Championships.
The most advanced technical-accommodation facilities and services offer the ideal conditions for the best management of sport activity at top quality levels. The last changes implemented at the centre concern the communication sector: recently 3000-m cabling has indeed been executed in order to place in strategic points the cameras of Milan Channel - the Club's thematic channel - for the coverage of everything going on at the Sport Centre for Milan's fans.

cbf reading it all but from what i did read it sounds world class, but i think in terms of quality produced from an acadamy/training facility ajax's wins hands down

Real Madrid's old training facility...the Spanish government paid 500 million euro for it :confused:

I'm not sure when the upgrade of Chelsea's training facilitys is complete but it was the 1st thing Roman funded when he took over the Chelsea Village.

first of all, it's very expensive to build in London, so it kinda explains the rather poor training facilities of the London teams.

Sporting have one of the greatest in Europe, will be the Portuguese NT headquarters in Euro2004. Benfica's are in construction at the moment.
