This event is for players aiming to either play college soccer (NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA), join an academy, or become a professional players. With that goal comes some challenges:

1. Soccer in Europe: A lot of players desire to have a soccer experience in Europe but do not know how to start or which program to select, as it typically requires a significant financial and time investment.
2. College Soccer (NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA): Players are often overwhelmed by the multitude of College ID Showcases, uncertain which ones are truly worthwhile, leading them to spend thousands of dollars each year with a low success rate.

Over the years, we have worked on a solution to address these challenges.

This one-of-a-kind event allows you to connect with coaches and agents, experience European soccer firsthand, and gain valuable exposure while playing at one of the world’s most renowned soccer hubs – the Bundesliga in Germany.

You will compete alongside and against European players, gaining invaluable international competition experience.

College coaches are eager to recruit players with international playing experience (watch why it matters in our interview with an NCAA coach) and are more likely to make decisions when they can evaluate playing levels by observing players competing across diverse cultures.

European Academies and FIFA-licensed agents generally focus their recruitment within Europe—making this a rare opportunity to meet them in person!

This is also the first event of its kind, bringing together college coaches, European coaches, agents, and international academies on such a large scale – hosted in a Bundesliga city in Germany.

In the U.S., players and their families often spend thousands of dollars each year on multiple tournaments and showcases.

A showcase in Germany gives players a unique chance to meet NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA college coaches, recruiters, as well as European scouts and FIFA-licensed agents – all in one place. For players coming from outside Germany, this means strong exposure in a single event.

Typical U.S. showcase costs

• 2-day ID showcase fee: ~$350 USD
• Flights (if out of state): $250-650 USD
• Hotel (1-2 nights): $100-200 USD per night

Total:

Around $1,000-1,500 USD per U.S. showcase, often repeated multiple times per year, with limited coach attention.

*Estimate based on average U.S. showcase pricing.

Showcase in Germany (Europe)

• Round-trip flight to Frankfurt or Cologne: ~$600-1,000 USD (from North America)
• 2-day showcase registration: $195-275 USD (depending on admission tier)
• Optional all-inclusive package (hotel, airport pickup, local transport, food): $550 USD
• Check-in Friday, check-out Sunday
• No logistics stress, full focus on playing and networking

Bottom line

One Germany showcase can replace multiple U.S. events by combining college exposure + European scouting in one trip.

Levels from MLS, MLS NEXT, ECNL, and elite leagues will provide the best exposure and opportunities, but all dedicated players are welcome to register.

Age Restrictions:

• Boys ages 16-23 are welcome to register.

We use tiered pricing to reward early registration and help us plan the event properly. As a non-profit event, the number of players is limited to ensure quality exposure and networking for every participant.

Tier 1 – Early Bird: Lowest price for early sign-ups

Tier 2 – Standard: Regular price as the event approaches

Tier 3 – Late: Higher price for last-minute registrations due to added logistics

Once all tiers are sold out, registration will close.

Fill out the registration form, and reserve your spot.

Following your registration, travel instructions will be sent, and travel packages can be booked separately if assistance is needed. Don’t worry; we have assisted more than 500 players and coaches with their travel arrangements to Germany.

Important:

For this not-for-profit event, the number of players will be capped once all tiers are sold out to maximize networking opportunities for each participant. The price increases once a pricing tier is sold out.

Great – once you secure your spot, you will receive a confirmation email.

After that, you will get a second email with all final logistical details. This will answer questions about the schedule, travel, housing, and everything else you need to prepare for your time in Germany.

These details will be sent in early 2026 (about 10 days before the start of the event), once we have a weather forecast prediction as well as accurate schedule information from the host, and can accommodate players and coaches who register later.

We recommend waiting for our final logistics email before booking your travel, or, if you are flying in, booking refundable flights in case the schedule changes.

Email us, and we will be glad to assist you with anything you need!
