For Football Manager 2024 players, this guide contains the best Youth Rating countries sorted by tier and ranking. Let’s check it out.
It also includes all clubs that have Youth Recruitment, Youth Facilities and Youth Coaching all equal to or above 15.
Youth Nations
These are the best countries in the world as far as Youth Rating goes.
Having recruitment focuses on these nations could prove valuable even if there are better ways to scout.

Youth Clubs
Due to character limitations this list comes without the ratings, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to fit all countries. However, every one of these clubs are equal to or above 15 in Youth Recruitment, Youth Facilities and Youth Coaching combined. Meaning that if they exist in a nation with high Youth Rating, they are prime targets for scouting/analyzation.
Prioritizing from top to bottom is most preferable.
