Our most popular program, the International Fútbol X-Change, gives players of all abilities, the opportunity to experience soccer and life in another country. FARA places each player individually among one of our partner foreign club teams to play as a fully registered player for one full season. Not only do the participants gain valuable international soccer experience, but naturally will be educated about the culture and race of the peoples within the destination country. Players are immersed in a foreign culture, possibly amidst a new language, with players from all corners of the globe. It is an unforgettable life experience, providing a new perspective on the different walks of life that all share a passion for the same beautiful game.

FARA carefully manages the full international transfer of each youth player, providing a highly competitive club that furnishes professional level training, infrastructure, regional league competition, and opportunity for tremendous growth in tactical and technical soccer ability.

Players are enrolled in a local high school to continue their secondary education while living with a carefully selected host family. For certain destinations, the management of the school and host family placement is carried out by one of our partner exchange programs. Thus, admittance into FARA's Youth Year X-Change requires a favorable academic record and is subject to the requirements of our partner institutions. Players live with a host family during their entire stay, providing an invaluable support system and "home away from home."

If you are a competitive soccer player and have an interest in playing in a foreign soccer environment, then the International Fútbol X-Change is the perfect opportunity to broaden your horizons and bring you closer to achieving your playing goals.
