Defender Ayslan continues to build an outstanding path through Palmeiras’ youth ranks. At 16, he has already collected important achievements with the club and is gaining more and more experience in high-level competitions, strengthening his development at one of the most traditional youth academies in Brazilian football.
A two-time São Paulo state champion at the Under-15 level, Ayslan played an important role in the team’s title-winning campaigns, reinforcing his growth and consistency on the field. In addition to the state titles, the young player has also been expanding his competitive experience in international tournaments.
Recently, the center back represented Palmeiras in the Under-18 Copa Mitad del Mundo, a traditional competition held in Ecuador that brings together major teams and promising talents from world football. Taking part in the tournament gave the defender exposure to different styles of play and an environment of high technical and tactical demands.
It was a very important experience for my career. We faced high-level teams, and I was able to learn a lot on and off the field. Wearing the Palmeiras shirt in an international competition is a great responsibility and also a source of great pride. I’m coming back even more motivated to keep improving and help the club achieve new goals.
Palmeiras is recognized as one of the world’s leading references in player development, maintaining one of the most successful and well-structured youth systems in football. The work carried out by the club has consistently produced talent and solidified its position as one of the main breeding grounds for players on the national and international stage.
