Standard de Liège's youth academy, now operating under the SL16 Football Campus, is one of the most productive development programmes in Belgian football. Originally known as the Academie Robert Louis-Dreyfus, the centre was inaugurated in 2007 and is located in Angleur, near the Sart-Tilman area of Liège. The campus features natural and synthetic training pitches, strength and conditioning facilities, a medical centre, and dedicated spaces for video analysis and academic study. In 2014, Standard was named Belgium's best youth development club (BFC Pro Youth Award). The academy's track record speaks for itself: Axel Witsel, Marouane Fellaini, Michy Batshuayi, and Eliaquim Mangala all came through the Standard youth system before establishing themselves at the highest levels of European football and with the Belgian national team.
