Youth Summer Fútbol X-Change

To provide world class training opportunities for top American youth soccer players, FARA’s International Fútbol X-Change Youth Program has partnered with professional clubs in Belgium, Germany, and Peru allow a limited number of players to train amongst their youth teams for 2 weeks every summer. A superior alternative to an international soccer camp where participants train amongst other visiting players, our program immerses players in the foreign game, experiencing the foreign game as if they were a part of the team. The Youth Summer IFX thus enables players to learn from not only professionally licensed UEFA coaches, but also to learn from their highly skilled foreign peers.

It's not just a soccer camp! Train and compete WITH a foreign soccer club

Youth Year X-Change

For players who wish to drastically enhance their chances of becoming a professional soccer player while simultaneously having a truly unforgettable international cultural and life changing experience, our Youth Year X-Change program combines full matriculation into a highly competitive international club along with enrollment at a fully accredited high school. Player live with a foreign host family for the duration of their stay, either a semester or year long.

Pro Fútbol X-Change

The Pro IFX, gives players over 18 years of age, the opportunity to experience football and life in another country. FARA places each player individually among one of our partner foreign club teams to train with for a period of 30 days. Not only do the participants gain valuable international football experience, but naturally will be educated about the culture and race of the peoples within the destination country.

Our past Pro IFX participant players have been players directly out of high school, college players, college graduates, top level amateur players, semi-professionals, and professionals.

There is no other program like it! It is also a tremendous opportunity to showcase your talent to the host club. Some past participants have utilized the Pro IFX as a launching pad for their international careers, with some of our host clubs extending long-term playing opportunities to our players.

Players are immersed in a foreign culture, possibly amidst a new language, with players from all corners of the globe. It is an unforgettable life experience, providing a new perspective on the different walks of life that all share a passion for the same beautiful game.

Go train WITH the soccer pro's abroad! It's a one of a kind program!
