INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY
The Right to Dream International Academy experience is all about developing well-rounded players who are not only exceptional on the pitch but also have what it takes to reach their potential in life. Our players participate in tournaments in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America and play matches against youth academies such as Ajax, Dortmund, Valencia, Sparta Prague, PSG and many more.
After two years of intensive training and valuable exposure, our academy graduates are ready to take on the professional football world with confidence and determination. They get to continue their development journey, gain valuable game time, and prepare for new challenges by joining FC Nordsjælland, San Diego FC, FC Masar or other professional clubs.
This allows our graduates to showcase their skills and talents, offering opportunities to compete against top-level players, and gain exposure, while creating new pathways for themselves to reach their full potential. The Right to Dream International Academy has seen many of its alumni go on to play for top clubs around the world and represent their national teams at various levels including Mikkel Damsgaard, Mohammed Kudus, Mohamed Diomande, Simon Adingra, Lasso Coulibaly, Kamaldeen Sulemana, Adamo Nagalo, Daniel Svensson, Andreas Schjelderup, Ernest Nuamah, Patrick Dorgu, and Conrad Harder.
"It is a unique and bespoke football programme that provides the platform for talented young players to progress to the highest levels of pro football. This group not only benefit from elite coaching & a games programme across several continents but also an education and off-pitch programme in line with the core values of Right to Dream."
