Youth development is the main pillar of Clube Uni\u00e3o Micaelense. It’s in the youth ranks that the club’s future is built \u2014 and it’s also where the most time, dedication, and rigour are invested. It’s no coincidence that CUM holds 4-star Certified Training Entity status, a stamp of quality that reflects the standard of the entire training structure, from how training sessions are organised to the individual support given to each athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 2025\/2026 season, the club’s youth setup was organised into 9 teams, from 7-a-side to 11-a-side football:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7-a-side Football<\/strong> \u2014 Benjamins: Sub-10 B, Sub-10 A and Sub-11, and Infantis: Sub-12
9-a-side Football<\/strong> \u2014 Infantis: Sub-13
11-a-side Football<\/strong> \u2014 Iniciados: Sub-14 and Sub-15, Juvenis: Sub-17, and Juniores: Sub-19<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total, CUM’s youth setup brings together close to 200 athletes<\/strong>, guided by a coaching staff of more than 20 coaches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training sessions mostly take place at the Est\u00e1dio Municipal Marqu\u00eas J\u00e1come Correia, the club’s home ground. Due to space management needs, some teams also train, occasionally, at the Arrifes field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
