We Moved Locations During COVID-19 To Keep Our Journey Moving Forward
Nine Americans Signed European Pro Contracts As A Result
We founded Marbella United F.C. in Spain in January 2015. However, due to COVID-19, we were forced to leave in 2020 because our minors could not receive student visas during the pandemic. During the pandemic's peak, we spent 11 months in Belgrade and Arandjelovac, Serbia, and three months in Cali, Colombia. In January 2022, after the borders opened, we moved to Mendoza, Argentina. We decided on Argentina as our long-term and final location because underaged Americans can register and compete in professional club Academies. In Europe, non-Europeans under 18 can only register with a professional academy team once they are adults.
We have operated under these names and locations:
-Marbella United FC in Marbella, Spain (Aug. 2015 to April 2020)
-Belgrade United F.C. in Belgrade, Serbia (Sept. 2020 to January 2022)
-Cali United F.C. in Cali, Colombia (January to May 2021)
-Mendoza United FC in Mendoza, Argentina (Jan. 2022 to present)
