Petition Background:

The dreams of aspiring Youth soccer athletes from Quebec between the ages of 9 and 17 are being denied their right by the Quebec soccer federation to play in the North American Super Y league open to Canadian teams and players as they refuse to acknowledge the “ACP Academy” as a member simply because they do not support the Non Club Academy process, a process recognized by FIFA associations worldwide including the CSA (Canada Soccer association) and adopted by the other Canadian provincial soccer associations. This process offers elite youth soccer players the opportunity to compete at a higher levels through participation in North American leagues and international tournaments outside of the Quebec soccer system.

The ACP Academy has a solid financial structure which includes important sponsors like Air Qatar, they have a fully licensed Technical staff for all age categories, a Technical Director, dedicated infrastructure, physio’s at every practice and games, hence The Academy has all the right conditions that provides a youth soccer player that professional soccer experience which no public soccer Club can provide, yet the Quebec soccer federation shuts their eyes to these facts about the ACP academy and ignore the fact that they are only penalizing the children of this academy with no justification as they continue to ignore the call of the ACP academy to work together for a solution.

Petition:

This supportive petition has not been organized or initiated by the ACP Academy. We the parents along with our children as members of the ACP academy have created this petition to seek support for the right to allow our children through the ACP academy to play in any international tournament or North American soccer leagues.

I the under signed support this right currently being denied by the bureaucracy of the Quebec Soccer association.
