According to a recent report, Bayern Munich is planning to open a football academy campus at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center in California. The proposed facility would host under‑15 and under‑17 teams, enabling the club to nurture and secure young U.S. talent at an early stage while strengthening ties with Major League Soccer’s LAFC. The news aligns with Bayern’s broader strategy of expanding its global development network. The Royal Academy remains unmentioned in this context, but the announcement may influence broader youth soccer development in the Chula Vista region.
