About our football academy

EU Talent Academy is a football school in Maastricht for players who want to get better. With small groups, coaches from professional football and attention for every player.

Our story

Every talent deserves personal attention.

EU Talent Academy started on the sidelines. We saw how many young players have talent, but get little time at their club to really work on their technique. With twenty players in a team, a coach simply cannot guide everyone personally.

That is why we started our own football school. Here you train one-on-one, in pairs or in a small group. That way every player gets the attention they need, and we work on exactly what they still want to learn.

Our coaches come from professional football and love to pass that experience on. Not just how to control a ball or beat a defender, but also how to read the game and keep growing. At R.K.S.V. Heer in Maastricht we have a permanent home for that.

Coaches from professional football

Our coaches have experience at professional football clubs and know what it takes to grow as a player.

Emre Usta

Head coach U11 at MVV Maastricht

I played in the youth academies of MVV Maastricht and Roda JC. That is where I found out I enjoyed coaching young players even more than playing myself. Now I am head coach of the MVV Maastricht U11 team and I train players at EU Talent Academy.

Experience

  • Head coach U11 at MVV Maastricht
  • Youth player at MVV Maastricht
  • Youth player at Roda JC

Why train with Emre?

I know what it is like to be a young player in a youth academy. I use that experience in every session: I look at what a player needs and help them improve step by step.

Fun comes first for me. Kids who enjoy themselves dare more and learn faster.

Fuat Usta

Former professional footballer and UEFA Pro Licence coach

As a former professional footballer and UEFA Pro Licence coach (2018), I have gained years of experience in national and international professional football. I now work as an Individual Development Coach.

Experience

  • Head coach of MVV Maastricht
  • Academy Head Coach at FC Anzhi in Russia
  • Active in Turkish national football
  • Youth coach at Fortuna Sittard

Why train with Fuat?

My training sessions are aimed at developing complete footballers. With personal guidance we work on technique, tactical insight, speed of action, explosiveness and self-confidence.

I also offer performance training, focused on stamina, strength, speed, agility and explosiveness. That way you not only become a better footballer, but also fitter and stronger.

My goal is simple: to make every player individually better, fitter, faster and more complete.
