In 2010, Athlètes Elite was born, accompanying young footballers to American universities and awarding them scholarships. In 2014, in partnership with the French Football Federation, the agency took a major step forward, giving birth to FFFUSA. It became the first agency to collaborate with a federation to offer young people a second chance by limiting failures and placing them in the United States. FFFUSA quickly became the world leader in college soccer placement.

The program, the result of a partnership between the French Football Federation (FFF) and Elite Athletes, gives young footballers access to unique opportunities. The program offers players a second chance to pursue their careers while earning a university degree, thanks to the support and expertise of a dedicated team experienced in the fields of sport and education.
Joining an American university as a student-athlete comes with many responsibilities. The competitions attract a large audience, and the facilities and staff help you achieve your best. However, without academic success, the adventure can quickly come to an end. Becoming a professional is not the main objective, but everyone can write their own story with the right guidance.

We created the “International Alliance” in collaboration with a group of elite European college sports recruiters, to help the best international prospects from American universities get recruited into Major League Soccer (MLS).
