Taking a group of young soccer players to Argentina for a 10-day training experience with Chacarita Juniors was an incredible journey filled with growth and excitement. As someone who organizes these tours, seeing the boys step onto the training grounds of such a storied club was a moment of pride. The boys were eager to learn from Chacarita’s coaches, who are deeply rooted in the traditions of Argentine soccer. Each day was packed with intensive training, where they not only improved their technical skills but also gained a deeper understanding of the passion that fuels the sport in Argentina.

Beyond the pitch, the trip was designed to immerse the kids in the rich culture of Buenos Aires. We embarked on a food tour that introduced them to local favorites like empanadas and asado, giving them a taste of Argentine life. The timing of our visit was particularly special as Argentina had just celebrated their Copa América 2024 victory. Joining the locals in the streets to celebrate was an unforgettable experience that allowed the boys to feel the electric energy and national pride firsthand. This tour was not just about improving as soccer players but also about creating lifelong memories and building a connection to a culture that lives and breathes soccer.

Taking a group of young soccer players to Argentina for a 10-day training tour with Banfield was nothing short of extraordinary. As someone who has seen firsthand the impact that these experiences can have, I was thrilled to witness these boys dive headfirst into the world of Argentine soccer. Banfield, with its rich history and commitment to youth development, offered an ideal environment for the kids to learn and grow. Every training session was an opportunity for them to sharpen their skills and embrace the intensity that defines Argentine soccer. Watching them absorb the lessons from Banfield’s coaches and apply them on the field was incredibly rewarding.

But the tour was about more than just soccer. I wanted the kids to experience Argentina in its full depth, which is why we embarked on a food tour and explored the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires. We tasted everything from the savory asado to the sweet alfajores, giving the boys a real taste of the culture. The joy of exploring a new country and immersing ourselves in its soccer culture made this trip an unforgettable adventure. Seeing the boys grow not just as players, but as individuals, is what makes organizing these tours so fulfilling.

The 2021 Greece Soccer Scouting tour was a complete success. Together with USA Stars Academy, we were able to put together a productive soccer tour.
We completed multiple showcases in which some of our players were scouted and were invited to play by local professional clubs. Our younger players were able to experience soccer at a professional level and test themselves overseas, against a different kind of opposition.

Besides the soccer experience, players were able to experience the Greek landscape and culture.

Sporting Kansas City closed out the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League group stage with a 3-1 home win over Central FC of Trinidad at Children’s Mercy Park. Cameron Porter, Nansel Selbol and Connor Hallisey orchestrated the comeback for the MLS side after finishing the first half down by a goal.

Sporting, already eliminated from the competition after falling to the Vancouver Whitecaps, came close to scoring early on through Hallisey and Nuno Coelho. Still, it was the visitors who struck first through Jem Gordon. In the 43rd minute, Sean De Silva found the forward, who was kept onside by Ike Opara inside the box and buried the ball into the net.

The home side came out firing on all cylinders in the second half and were justly rewarded in the 49th minute. Porter outpaced the Central FC defense after collecting a long pass from Tomas Granitto, leveling the score with a low shot. Selbol scored the game-winner in the 55th minute after creating some space and shooting from outside the box. Hallisey would put it out of reach after converting his first goal for Sporting KC from the penalty spot in injury time.

With the result, Sporting Kansas City will finish in second place in Group C. The Whitecaps, who maintained a perfect record through the group stage, will move on to the next round of the competition.
