Soccer Trials and Intensive Training

The VIA PRO identifies,  prepares, and places ambitious footballers with aspirations of playing European football.

Our VIA PRO Year Program enables competitive players over the age of 18 to take the opportunity to train and play for a Portuguese club for either a half, or full season. Players are placed on a club according to their level of play, and have the opportunity to train and compete with elite players from all around the globe. 

An initial evaluation period upon arrival determines specific club placement. Players live in either a shared apartment or with a host family and will attend an intensive language institute that will enable our players to experience rapid advancement in their foreign language. University degree programs are also available. 

This program serves as a rare chance to gain exposure overseas, while simultaneously gaining valuable playing and learning experience.
