It also provides a platform to enhance your understanding of the European soccer structure. More about the residency >>
In contrast, the tours provide a shorter-term residency, primarily geared towards older players seeking immediate opportunities, though younger players can also benefit from the showcase games. More about our tours >>
The individual sessions cater to local players and children who want to maintain their skills, improve their conditioning, and enhance various aspects of their game. More about our individual sessions >>
For our tours, we aim to maintain a consistently strong group due to the limited time and the competitive nature of the games we'll be involved in. On the other hand, our sessions are open to individuals of all ages and skill levels because our primary focus is on development and growth.
The residency program will feature two UEFA-licensed coaches, namely Shelby and Alexandro, who bring a wealth of playing and coaching experience. In addition, our goalkeeping coach, Vladan, also contributes substantial expertise to the program. Coach Shelby will be in charge of conducting both the tours and individual sessions.
International games will be scheduled during the residency program, but this opportunity is exclusively available for players participating in the year-long residency.
We welcome players aged 15 and above to join our program. For older players, spots will be considered based on their experience and resume, ensuring the best fit for their skill level and goals.
As an international academy, we have an open welcome for everyone. However, it's important to note that the ability to obtain a Schengen Visa is a crucial consideration, so the player's passport and eligibility do matter in this context.
For players participating in the year-long residency, we will provide assistance with the visa process. Depending on your passport, you may initially receive a 90-day tourist visa, and we'll guide you on obtaining a longer-term visa, which may involve options like language courses or work holiday visas. Our team will support you throughout this process.
