FIFA regulations generally prohibit international transfers of players under 18 to professional clubs. While this applies globally—not just to players from North America—there are rare exceptions under specific circumstances.

For players aged 18+ who meet professional standards, we can arrange pro trials with professional clubs in the UK, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, and other top soccer nations.

For players aged 14-17, we offer academy training placements at professional clubs and opportunities to compete in elite youth tournaments against teams like Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Barcelona. These programs provide invaluable exposure to scouts and help young players develop the skills and experience needed to advance to the next stage in their journey.

Yes, the professional clubs we work with prioritize education alongside soccer development. Players can continue their studies online, and some clubs provide additional educational support. This ensures that young athletes can maintain their academic progress while training and competing at an elite level, balancing both athletic and educational growth for a well-rounded future.

Players aged 14-17 can join academy training placements at professional clubs in Europe, where they’ll train with elite-level coaches and teams. They’ll also have opportunities to compete in top youth tournaments against some of the world’s best academies, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona. While professional contracts aren’t possible before 18, these programs give players the exposure and preparation needed to succeed when they reach eligibility.

Our program has helped players secure professional contracts in top leagues like the English Premier League (EPL) and La Liga. Over 100 players have earned U.S. college scholarships, and more than 20 male and female players have represented Canada on the international stage. Just last year, we placed over 30 players at professional clubs in Europe, giving them the training, exposure, and experience needed to progress toward their goals.

FIFA’s Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP) generally prohibit international transfers of players under 18 to protect young athletes from exploitation. This applies globally, not just to players from North America. However, there are a few exceptions, including parental relocation, participation in academic programs, and humanitarian reasons.

While these exceptions exist, they are rare and require strict FIFA approval. For most players under 18, participation in academy training placements or youth tournaments offers the best pathway to develop skills and gain exposure until they become eligible for professional trials at age 18.

For more details, you can review FIFA’s International Player Transfer Guide.

Once players turn 18, they become eligible for pro trials with professional clubs in Europe. These trials offer a direct pathway to earning a professional contract, provided the player’s performance meets the required standards.
