Uvita: Academia de Fútbol Partnership
Bringing Communities Together
Our partnership with the Academia de Fútbol Uvita is an ongoing project with a significant impact on the community. We work with coaches, players, and families, taking a holistic approach to player development both on and off the field.
Located in the rural town of Uvita de Osa in Costa Rica, this program provides soccer training to over 150 boys and girls from 4-18 years old. Founded in 2018, the program has been recognized in the international soccer world. More importantly, it has become an important part of player’s lives and the community’s families.
We see this strategic project as an opportunity to create a long-lasting program where generations can come together with a positive outcome for every person involved.
