Weekly Round-Up 17th-24th January

Football Trials in Spain:

This week we have welcomed some new faces to our Football Academy in Spain as we are offering football trials for our partner club Alicante City FC. Many players around the world are wanting to go pro but do not have the opportunities available to them in their own country and this is where we come in! We understand the array of talent available and by offering these players the chance to play football abroad, we can help them seize otherwise unattainable opportunities while also finding players that have the ability and mentality to turn out for ACFC. This week we have welcomed players from all over the world including USA, UK, Nigeria, Portugal, Holland, and more who are all looking for the chance to play soccer in Europe and are training daily at our academy with the aim of impressing our football scouts and securing a contract with us. We can also proudly say that these trials are working as we have already had 2 players train with our ACFC first team and another player to train with the ACFC U19s.

Players returning:

As well as many new players arriving to prove themselves and earn the chance to play football with Alicante City FC, we have also had a couple of players returning to play here due to the connections, trust, and relationship we have with our players. Many players from our Spanish Soccer Academy have returned as they have shown they are physically and mentally able to achieve success with our partner club in semi-professional football, and we are delighted to see them make the jump from Academy footballer. This demonstrates our system working and providing players with the chance to achieve their dream via football trials, while at the same time providing our partner football team with quality players that would never have been noticed by Spanish teams had they not joined us. We also have had a player returning to us after playing soccer in Australia. Having once been a member of ACFC, Brennan Joaquin signed to a club in Australia thanks to our connections down under. This week he has decided to come back to Alicante showing that the relationship we have with our players is one of always trying to help them succeed.

From The US & UK to Australia:

Although we are still in the first month of 2020, our UK and USA branches have already had incredible success helping players to play soccer in Australia with a high number of players already arriving down under to start the 2020 season. Players have turned out for our UK football trial days as well as our USA soccer trials, and in doing so have been scouted by our experienced recruiters and given expert advice on what it is like to play football abroad and the challenges to expect. We look forward to seeing how these players can develop and progress in their careers now that they have been given the kick-start opportunity that so many players desperately need.
