PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Path for Americans to a Professional European Playing Career

The 2025-26 season will be our 10th anniversary. For our first five years, we operated out of Marbella, Spain, as Marbella United F.C. 

We left Marbella at the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic when Spain did not allow student visas for minors. We spent 12 months in Belgrade, Serbia (including three months in Cali, Colombia).

We toured and played with top-flight professional clubs throughout Europe. Over those years, several players went on to play for professional senior teams and academies.

In 2022, we had nine Americans sign European professional contracts.

We are in the final months of 2024; 17 Americans joined professional division 1, 2, and 3 clubs.

We are ending the year with a busy schedule:

1. Chilean Pro Tour

2. Buenos Aires Pro Tour

3. River Plate Academy Coaches are traveling to Mendoza to scout our players.

4. Competing with Division 1 & 2 Pro Clubs in Mendoza.

5. Mendoza United F.C. American players are trying out with local pro clubs.
