Our Spanish Soccer Academy offers a comprehensive developmental program for young footballers, providing them with opportunities to engage in Spanish league play through a licensed football experience. Players are placed into the ACFC first team, U23 squad, or a U-19 team aligned with their age, skills, and the strategic decisions made by our well-versed coaching staff aiming for team and individual growth.
Led by seasoned professionals, including an ex-Crystal Palace coach and a World Cup-winning former Argentine U21 player, our program is designed to cultivate talent in a focused and demanding setting. The academy's nine-month program begins in September 2025 and culminates in May 2026, aligning with the European football season. Participants benefit from stringent technical training, advanced fitness regimes, and state-of-the-art technological tools to ensure they are continually prepared for competitive play.
