The main goal of FIFA Talent Development Scheme (TDS) is to help raise the standards of national-team football around the world for both men and women, driven by FIFA’s desire for a long-term dedication to global talent development.

In December 2022, the FIFA Council approved a funding allocation of USD 200 million to cover the 2023-2026 operational lifecycle of this ground-breaking initiative, and at its most recent meeting in Kigali, Rwanda, on 14 March, the Council also approved a set of regulations laying out the principles and distribution of funding and the process of approval, as well as the rights and obligations of member associations. The TDS was presented in greater detail at the FIFA Congress on 16 March and was warmly welcomed by the delegates in attendance.
