Pathway Two
Placement with a US university athletics programme on an athletic or academic scholarship — a degree and a playing career, not one at the cost of the other.
US college soccer is the only pathway in world football where a player can pursue a professional career and a fully funded degree at the same time. Hundreds of programmes across NCAA Division I, Division II and NAIA recruit internationally every year, and the majority never see a Central African player.
We change that by treating the academic file with exactly the same seriousness as the footage. Transcripts are converted to the US 4.0 scale, TOEFL preparation is arranged locally, eligibility is filed with the relevant centre, and a targeted outreach campaign puts your dossier in front of coaches whose roster actually has a gap in your position.
Every cost is published here before you start. Nothing reaches a partner until a player has been seen in person at our bootcamp.
Submit the intake form with your highlights and pay the application fee. Your file is not submitted until the fee clears — that is what buys a scout's full attention, and why every submission gets a proper review and a written verdict rather than a glance.
10,000 FCFAA scout reviews your footage within five business days and comes back to you either way. Shortlisted players are invited to the bootcamp.
IncludedSelected players pay one registration and bootcamp fee. It confirms your place in the intake and covers the whole five-day bootcamp: hotel, feeding, your kit (shirt and shorts), and the coaching and scouting staff.
150,000 FCFAFive days of assessment, training and match play. There is nothing more to pay at this stage — your hotel, meals and kit are covered by the registration and bootcamp fee.
IncludedAfter the bootcamp we select 10 to 15 profiles and submit those dossiers to our European and US partners for their final decision. Every selected player then gets our visa assistance: the file, the embassy appointment and interview preparation.
IncludedA final fee covers documentation and travel arrangements. Our partners do not cover hosting or feeding, so these costs are settled upfront — that is deliberate, and it is how we avoid a player arriving abroad with an unpaid bill waiting for them.
Our in-house editor can build you a professional reel from everything we hold: the video you submitted, any other footage or material you send us, and — if you reach it — clips from your bootcamp. The result replaces your original reel in the dossier partners see. Entirely optional: the choice is yours, and a self-filmed reel is never held against you.
Every fee is stated before you commit to the stage that charges it, and you will never be asked for money at a stage you have not reached. All payments are made by MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money through our payment gateway — we never ask for cash.
The US pathway rewards players who take the classroom as seriously as the pitch. If that's you, send us your file — the cost of every stage is published above.
