Flemish Football Association (Voetbal Vlaanderen)

The cooperation with double pass was an important breakthrough and step forward in our relationship with the clubs and their academies. Double pass is a catalyst in the Belgian Talent Development System and the project is an essential means to help the clubs to run their academies. It is a leverage for the implementation of our football development philosophy.

Project

Since 2003, on a three year cycle base, 1.190 professional and grassroots audits were carried out in the double pass auditing, certification and supporting project. Quality labels are stimulating the talent development processes of the academies and are today a means for the organisation of youth competitions.
During our yearly Quality in Sports Happening we celebrate and reward those clubs which have had an audit in the past football season. Next to that, double pass wishes to emphasise the daily efforts of many volunteers and reward them for their merits.

What our clients say

“It was a privilege for all of us to leave our comfort zone and day-by-day operations to share our thoughts and experiences, to define and formalise our way of working and to cross check it with the international expertise of the dp consultants. After each visit we received new assignments, which were followed up closely by dp experts. The dp approach is clearly the best way to define, implement and evaluate improvements to the club and academy operations.“

"We were independently audited by world renowned auditors who have worked with the EPL, MLS, Bundesliga, etc. and achieved a score of 88% which was the highest in the country and significantly above the European average where the percentage is in the mid 60’s. This was a fantastic achievement, which we wouldn’t have been close to achieving 5 years ago, but every day we push on and we look to get better again."
