RESIDENCIA DEPORTIVA PARA JOVENES EN FORMATIVAS DE FUTBOL EN GUAYAQUIL, ECUADOR

Abstract

IN THE CURRENT YEAR 2024, THE YOUTH OF ECUADOR, ESPECIALLY IN THE CITY OF GUAYAQUIL, IS DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY INSECURITY IN THE STREETS CAUSED BY CORRUPTION, SOCIO-ECONOMIC INEQUIALITY, AND DRUG TRAFFICKING. THIS SITUATION HAMPERS THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW GENERATIONS, AS AN INCREASING NUMBER OF YOUTHS ARE GETTING INVOLVED IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES, DIVERTING THEM FROM THEIR STUDIES. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE FOOTBALL CLUBS AND ACADEMIES IN THE CITY OF GUAYAQUIL LACK PROPER STRUCTURING OF THEIR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND THE NECESSARY INFRAESTRUCTURE. THIS LACK OF ORGANIZATION MAKES IT UNCERTAIN THAT CHILDREN FACING ECONOMIC INSTABILITY RECEIVE HOUSING, HEALTH, AND EDUCATION. TEAMS FROM THE SIERRA REGION, SUCH AS INDEPENDIENTE DEL VALLE AND LIGA DE QUITO, HAVE DEMONSTRATED THROUGH THEIR LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL SUCCESSES IN RECENT YEARS THAT INVESTING IN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR YOUTH CATEGORIES YIELDS LONG-TERM RESULTS. THE PROPOSAL FOR A SPORTS RESIDENCE IN GUAYAQUIL AIMS TO PROVIDE HOUSING AND AN INTEGRAL FORMATION TO YOUTHS BELONGING TO FOOTBALL ACADEMIES. THIS APPROACH ALLOWS THEM TO DEVELOP VALUES AND KNOWLEDGE THAT PREPARE THEM FOR A PROFESSIONAL LIFE WITHIN OR OUTSIDE OF FOOTBALL. THE METHODOLOGY EMPLOYED IS BASED ON GATHERING INFORMATION THROUGH RESEARCH, INTERVIEWS, SURVEYS, AND THE ANALYSIS OF ANALOGOUS CASES.
