In the first phase, the best 50 players from each country, identified in the selection process, will go for a week of trials in the capital city of their respective nations. The top three from each country will then go to the Aspire academy in Doha for four weeks of trials and testing. Following a period of assessment and discussions with the families, the most talented players will be enrolled into the Academy.
