    About Beau Silva

    Born in 2007 to a Dutch mother and Portugese father with Cape Verdean roots, Beau has built an impressive football journey across multiple academies and competitive levels, beginning his career abroad with Arsenal’s youth program in Singapore before returning to the Netherlands. He developed through the youth ranks of AFC Amsterdam, Xerxes Rotterdam, and Zeeburgia, competing in the country’s highest divisions (1st Division) from 2020 to 2022. Beau then gained valuable experience with the Van Riemsdijk Sport Academy, playing in the U19 competition for FC Hilversum, before joining the Wooter Academy in 2023, where he continues to train in a professional environment.

    Along the way, Beau has been recognized for his talent at the highest levels. He was selected for the KNVB regional youth team in 2020,  got invited to go on trails with Almere City (2022) and ADO Den Haag (2024) both professional soccer teams in the Netherlands. His early career also included unique international experiences, such as reaching the semifinals of the CVF Escola Villarreal tournament in Spain (2017) and attending the Real Madrid Summer Camp (2019).

    Soccer:
    Beau’s strengths lie in his defensive presence and tactical intelligence. He is very strong in one-on-one situations, explosive in his movement, and composed on the ball. His creativity and vision allow him to spot opportunities and deliver the right pass, while his leadership qualities make him effective at coaching and organizing the defensive line. Training under former Champions League winner Winston Bogarde and working within the Wooter Academy, led by former Ajax professional Nordin Wooter, has further shaped his technical and tactical development.
