Introduction
The Next Generation Super League (NGSL) is an amateur football league for players aged 16-21. It was founded in 2017 by a group of former professional footballers who wanted to create a more competitive and challenging environment for young players.
The NGSL consists of 16 teams, divided into two divisions. The top division is called the Premier League, and the bottom division is called the Championship. The teams play each other twice, once home and once away.
The season runs from September to May, and the top two teams in the Premier League are promoted to the Professional Development League 2, while the bottom two teams in the Premier League are relegated to the Championship.
The NGSL is a popular league, and it has attracted some of the best young players in England. In recent years, several players who have played in the NGSL have gone on to play professional football, including Jadon Sancho, Mason Greenwood, and Bukayo Saka.
