Pro IFX 30 DAYS – Soccer Trials and Intensive Training
The Pro IFX is a 30-day training period with top-level amateur and semi-professional European clubs for players 18 and over. An alternative to a standard international soccer academy, the program offers unique cultural interaction with foreign players. It gives players an opportunity train within a foreign club to gain valuable international experience and to showcase their talent to our partner clubs.
