The last edition of the Maurice Revello Tournament, formerly the Toulon Tournament, one of the most important youth football competitions in the world, had the Venezuelan Telasco Segovia as the main figure, leading Venezuela to the final, which was won by France. His name soon attracted attention, positioning Venezuela as an interesting market for talent spotting.

Within CONMEBOL, as we analysed in our analysis of the CONMEBOL market, Venezuela is a country that lives from the export of players for the growth of both its league and its national team, always behind much more powerful nations in the run-up to the World Cup qualifiers. Therefore, in this analysis we are going to meet some of the most interesting U-20 players currently playing in the FUTVE League, being an interesting market for more powerful leagues in South America and other international leagues.

Telasco Segovia – Midfielder – 2003

The great talent of the future of Venezuelan football has already demonstrated his ability to be one of the best talents in the national league.
