Paulo Rudisill Euro Opportunities

TM says he's now with Feyenoord's U18s, but I'm not sure the club site confirms that. However, there is a match report that confirms the tournament stuff above, and I think says he got an assist, and is coached by a player some of you may remember, who was good at soccer.

Rudisill was listed as unattached on the U.S. roster for the FIFA U17 finals that are starting soon. A search of Feyenoord's site doesn't turn up any results more recent than the one above, from August, which I guess more or less confirms that he was a guest player/trialist at the time.

 

He can't be registered by Feyenoord, due to FIFA-rules concerning players younger than 18 from outside the EU.

 

im pretty sure he has an Italian passport

 

Transfermarkt gives him both an American as an Italian nationality, but that doesnot mean he has an Italian passport.
Transfermarkt gives Dutch nationals also the Surinam/Curacao etc. nationality, while in reality these guys don't have two nationalities.
Anyway begin next year he will be 18, so then we can see for sure if he's in the plans of Feyenoord or not.

 

The recruiting video embedded in the first post of this thread says he has an Italian passport.

 

Paulo Rudisill signs with Feyenoord
Feyenoord have strengthened themselves with Paulo Rudisill. The 18-year-old midfielder from the United States signed a contract at De Kuip until mid-2026. Rudisill joins Feyenoord Under 18 this season. 'Paulo is an attacking midfielder who can play in multiple positions,' says Rini Coolen, Feyenoord's Head of Academy. 'He is also insightfully strong and has the right winning mentality. Despite the fact that he has only been a Feyenoord player for a short time, he has already managed to adapt to the club very quickly. It's great to see how hard he works every day to get the most out of himself.'
Born in Irvine (California), Rudisill has been going through the youth academy of LA Galaxy in recent years and is part of the Feyenoord Under 18 selection for the remainder of the season. Last Friday, the United States youth international made his official debut for the team of coaches Robin van Persie and Brian Pinas. In the home game against FC Groningen (2-1), Rudisill was on the field for the entire match.

 

His coaching team:

 

To make things a bit confusing there's an U19 team to, but not within the academy. It is formed with players from U21 and U18 and plays in the U19 Youth League, the CL for Young teams. AZ Alkmaar last season won it and in the process smashed big names to pieces.

Feyenoord U19 will meet Bayern Munich in the UEFA Youth League round of 16. Feyenoord Under 19 has been paired with Bayern Munich in the eighth final of the UEFA Youth League. Robin van Persie's team will travel to Germany on Wednesday 27 or Thursday 28 February, as was determined during the draw in Nyon on Friday. At the end of this month, one match will be decided on the FC Bayern Campus who will advance to the quarterfinals. Bayern Munich Under 19 finished second in the group stage and therefore ended up in the intermediate round of the tournament. In it, the Germans won 0-2 against FC Basel. Feyenoord U19 qualified for the eighth finals as group winner.
UEFA Youth League
With a win against Bayern Munich, Feyenoord U19 qualifies for the quarter-finals, in which the team plays a home game against the winner of the game between Olympiakos and RC Lens (Tuesday 12 or Wednesday 13 March). The semi-finals and the final of the UEFA Youth League tournament will be played on neutral ground in Nyon.

 

I saw Twee Assists live at Club Paradiso in 1997 opening for Stone Roses and Inspiral Carpets. Great show.
