STUDENT LIFE
Living the Dream
IMPORTANT NOTE
We selected Argentina because it is one of the best starting grounds for Americans to start a professional career and reach European pro Football.
We moved to Mendoza, Argentina from Belgrade, Serbia in 2022.
Mendoza sits between the Andes mountains where we have mother nature, fresh air, and some of the best water in the world. We have our gym that our players use in the back of our hotel.
Our facility has rooms that 2-3 teammates share with a private bathroom and storage space. We have a dining hall, a commercial kitchen with cooks, and a large study hall area.
We take bus trips for our Pro Tours to Chile. We travel through some of the most beautiful mountains in South America. It is a fantastic experience for young men to witness South America while living their dream of becoming professional players.
The City of Mendoza has a population of….. Mendoza is only an hour's drive on the bus, and players go on a day off to shop and enjoy the city center. Stores and restaurants are less than a 10-minute walk. It is common for our American players to make friends with their Argentine peers.

Meal Plan
The MUFC Chef will prepare healthy, nutritional and football specific meals. It is important that our student-athletes are on a high carb diet that has the proper balance of fresh meat, vegetables, fruits, and grains. The Academy offers 3 meals per day. Meals will be served out of our team restaurant in Marbella city center which is only a five minute walk from the beach and boardwalk.
Fortuna GYM Arandjelovac
Another part of development that is required of our student athletes is the physical aspect of the game that is most recognized in European football. MUFC athletes will have full access to United Gym Marbella. Students are required to go twice a week to maintain proper football fitness but are free to use the facilities as they wish on their down time. Personalized workout programs will be given to each athlete and will go hand in hand with our daily diet.
