This summer, Spanish Soccer Trials welcomed 44+ players from 13 different countries to Spain for our biggest event of the year, the Summer Showcase 2025. An event designed to give aspiring professional footballers from all over the world with the ultimate platform to impress in front of top-level coaches and clubs.

Over the 2-Week period, players experienced the reality of life as a professional footballer in Spain — from high-intensity training sessions to competitive matches against some of the regions strongest opposition.


World-Class Coaching Staff

The showcase was led by our exceptional staff, all with extensive experience at the highest levels of the game including:

  • Juan Carlos Anon – Former Málaga CF First Team Coach

  • Braulio Alcántara – Former Getafe and current Real Oviedo Physical Preparation Coach

  • Álvaro Arias – SST Football Co-ordinator & Youth development specialist

  • Josemi Sánchez – Former professional with Málaga CF

  • Enrique Páez – SST Sports Psychologist

Throughout the two weeks, players also benefited from special guest coaches integrated within the fabric of the week from Malaga CF and CYD Leonesa, benefiting from their tactical insight, technical guidance, and own individual methodology.

Competitive Match Schedule


A key feature of the showcase was the opportunity to play against high-level Spanish opposition, providing a real test of ability in match conditions:

  • Youth Team – Faced a strong Pro Fut Camps side in two competitive fixtures.

  • Senior Team – Took on San Félix CF (renowned for producing top talent such as Real Madrids Dean Huijsen) and Mijas Las Lagunas.

These matches were strategically placed at the end of intense training blocks, mirroring the structure of a professional season and ensuring players showcased their abilities under realistic conditions.

Professional Scouts & Clubs in Attendance


The showcase attracted significant attention, with over 15 professional, semi-professional and academies attending throughout the event. Among the clubs represented were:

  • Málaga CF

  • Granada CF

  • UD Algeciras

  • San Félix CF

  • Mijas Las Lagunas

  • Cultural Leonesa

  • Marbella FC

  • CF Torremolinos…and more.

This direct exposure to decision-makers from professional and semi-professional clubs is exactly what makes Spanish Soccer Trials such a unique opportunity for ambitious players.

Life as a Professional – On & Off the Pitch

The schedule was specifically designed to:

  • Introduce players to core Spanish football principles — tactical structure, technical demands, and positional discipline.

  • Replicate a professional working week, with morning training, gym sessions, video analysis, and team meetings.

  • Provide the perfect platform for showcase games, where players could apply what they had learned in front of scouts.

The standard of play was extremely high, with coaches praising the quality, work ethic, and adaptability of this year’s group.

Incredible Feedback & Next Steps

The feedback from players, parents, and attending clubs has been nothing short of outstanding. Multiple opportunities have already emerged following the showcase, and we’re excited to announce the signings, trials, and invitations that have been secured as a direct result of the event in the coming weeks.

Spanish Soccer Trials continues to provide a direct pathway into Spanish football for talented players worldwide — and this year’s summer showcase proved once again why so many success stories begin right here.
