This event will bring together leaders, coaches, and experts to discuss the international influence of French football, the development of French players, the US college pathway, and the role of methodology in building smarter, more adaptable footballers.

France is recognized as one of the world’s most productive player-development ecosystems. French players are trusted across leagues, countries, languages, and tactical cultures. But behind that success, there is more than talent. There is an environment, a culture, and a methodology.

• French football’s international influence
• French players in the American soccer landscape
• The US college pathway for French players
• What French players bring technically, tactically, and culturally
• The methodology behind French player development
• How coaches can develop smarter, more adaptable players
• The bridge between French football and the United States

This conversation will explore what makes French players successful abroad, how the American soccer landscape can benefit from French football ideas, and how coaches can create better learning environments for players.

A limited number of complimentary invitations will be reserved for selected guests and partners.

General admission tickets are available for $50.

Space is limited.
