Spain is one of the top countries in the world for producing youth talent and so anybody looking to play here should know that there are high expectations. But always in football, there is a chance that given the right environment and development, a player can go on to achieve great things and that´s what they get here.

What are the opportunities that can come from a showcase event?
At each showcase event, players have the opportunity to be assessed and evaluated by high-level professional teams and coaches. However, the opportunities don’t end there. We’ve developed a variety of pathways and resources for those who are not yet ready to make the leap but are eager to take the next step in their football journey. These options include access to international residential academies, scholarships to top-tier football education programs, and partnerships with leading organizations. Additionally, we offer resources such as sports psychologists, performance coaches, and professional mentors to support players in reaching their full potential.
What is the success rate of players being scouted or signed through your trials?
Each of our events has unique entry and eligibility requirements to ensure the best fit for participants. Generally, our trials are designed for players aged 14 to 25, with age groups separated during the event itself. However, certain events may target specific age groups based on the opportunities available at that particular trial. Whether you’re a grassroots player looking for your first big break or a seasoned professional seeking your next challenge, we have an event that’s right for you.
