FUTSOC and internationally renowned PLAY PRO ACADEMY of Montevideo, Uruguay, have entered into a  player exchange agreement, allowing for the players from both organizations to participate in events to showcase them before professional and college scouts in order to further their soccer careers and fulfill academic objectives at top level colleges and universities.

PLAY PRO ACADEMY is a most respected organization from one of South America’s most recognized and famous breeding grounds of soccer, run by Julio De Armas, a  highly respected Technical Director and Promoter of youth soccer in his native Uruguay, along with Club Colon Santa Fe Technical Assistant Director Juan Andres Iraola . Together  they have forged a first rate organization devoted to the youth player soccer and academic development model.

Partnering with FUTSOC, PLAY PRO ACADEMY have greatly expanded their outreach into the U.S. , with a permanent presence, which allows for the  bilateral exchange of youth players. Entering our third year of joint cooperation and participation at events such as the world renowned Dr. Pepper Dallas Cup, IMG College Showcase, NYC Worldwide Showcase and others soon to be incorporated into our impressive premier elite tournament menu, many players have already found superb academic scholarship opportunities at some of the best institutions of higher learning in the U.S.

It is expected that this coming season, we will increase the frecuency of exchanges, giving many more superbly talented and developed players from PLAY PRO ACADEMY, the golden opportunity to succeed in this growing bastion of soccer in America. Similarly, we will be planning our initial visit to the beautiful country of Uruguay, where it is our intent to have some of the most elite players from our youth soccer programs at FUTSOC, participate in the highest levels of the sport  in South America, with hopes to find opportunities and experiences in the professional ranks .
