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.

OVER OTHER PROGRAMS
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."
