Football club
Portsmouth F.C. XI and Academy consist of the reserve and academy footballers of Portsmouth F.C.
Previously called Portsmouth Reserves , the Portsmouth XI consists of mainly young players under the age of 23 who are no longer eligible for the academy but are still trying to make the step up to the senior team. This team is used to give younger professional players and first team players returning from injury the chance to play and keep or improve match fitness, or for trialists at the club to impress in a match environment.
The club are currently opting out of fielding a competitive, league-based reserve team. Instead, young players have been sent out on loan to local non-league football clubs for first-team action and a number of friendly matches are arranged over the course of the season for players to play in. Players are able to freely move between the first team, XI or academy (depending on age and contract status).
Portsmouth were granted academy status at the beginning of the 2007/2008 season.[ 1] Southampton and Crystal Palace . In the 2012-13 season the Academy won the Football League Youth Alliance South East Conference.
The academy currently operates at Category Three level. Academy players can be promoted into the XI or first team, but due to EPPP rules, will still remain on youth contracts until a professional contract is offered. They play in the Football League Youth Alliance South-West Division and also compete in the FA Youth Cup .
Currently, Alex Bass and Haji Mnoga are notable academy graduates in the first team squad.
Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules . Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
[ edit ] Academy graduates who still play for Portsmouth, including those that are currently out on loan to other clubs, are highlighted in green.
