Design and conduct tours in Italy for youth and adult soccer players. AC Cugini, founded in 2000 with programs in Italy and the United States, was an official Italian scuola calcio (soccer academy) previously sanctioned by the Italian National Olympic Committee - Comitato Olimpico Nazionale Italiano Servizi (CONI Servizi) and the Italian Soccer Federation - Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIG
C) when we sponsored teams. In 2020, we moved away from sponsoring teams in the United States and instead began enhancing our award-winning cross-cultural athletic programming in Italy through our international division - Cugini Soccer Services. Because of Cugini Soccer Services' long history of working with soccer organizations in Italy and our staff's ability to communicate fluently in Italian, we have developed invaluable relationships with many high-level contacts in Italy, which allow us to create one-of-a-kind programs for North American youth players and coaches. Our focus is to create a unique experience where youth play against Italian teams or train with Italian professional clubs. This also allows our participants the chance to be reviewed closely by talent scouts from professional Italian clubs with the necessary translation assistance available to support any player selected by an Italian club.
