IFX Residential German Football Academy

The optimal combination of football and school is the core motto of the IFX German Football Academy. The IFX German Football Academy is operated by a more than 100 year old German football club, who also operates this unique football academy, also know as a ‘Fussball Internat’ or Fussball-Leistungszentrum’, or 'Fussball Academy' in German. Players who attend the soccer boarding school are primarily German players from the region and some from other parts of Germany, as well as some international soccer players.

The residential football academy is for players from the ages of 13 – 18, who play at a competitive level of football. Players live at the Fussball academy residence where they enjoy access to the training facilities, as well as the various amenities at the residence. All players compete with the affiliated German soccer club’s teams which compete at the highest regional level of German youth football. Players attend school at a local public German high school to continue their secondary education.

The football academy has relationships with professional Bundesliga clubs enabling players who exhibit exceptional levels to have the opportunity for exposure or trials with Bundesliga clubs, but is not guaranteed. Read stories about professional soccer trials in Germany with IFX.
