Why Friendlies over a Tournament?
We believe the professional experience is far more important than winning a competition. The ambition is that these players get the opportunity to place themselves in front of coaches, agents and powers of Italian Football gaining experience, understanding and potentially an opportunity to connect with Europe beyond the Tour. Living the Professional Footballers lifestyle hopefully this can prepare players for the future.
Why Italy?
Tours abroad provide a great opportunity for young players to gain such experiences and face a range of challenges that can contribute significantly to their personal and social development. The main reasons behind providing the opportunity for young male players on this tour is to:
-
-

- Experience the level and professionalism of a Giant in the football realm
-
- Experience from coaches
- Experience from matches played
-
- Experience Pro licence coaches at the pinnacle of youth development in Italy
- Planting a seed abroad to potentially open up a door, making your mark by leaving a positive impression
- Being realistic – a good chance for players to understand the level required, this can only benefit the player reasons being:
-
- Players maybe strong players here in their current leagues
- What’s required to be a pro
- Where you fit in the scheme of world football
- What level am I currently at?
-
- For those who may have dual citizenship – this can potentially open up doors and pathways abroad that can be utilised by being a European passport holder.
-
There are NO GUARANTEES that anything comes from this trip in regards to opening up pathways beyond. This is solely up to the effort and performance of the individual.
