“I came to the GSX program with the goal of gaining exposure and building real experience in a professional football environment. From the very first day, I was thrown into the rigors of training and competition at a professional level. The intensity, structure, and expectations immediately pushed me out of my comfort zone, but in the best way possible. What stood out most was how completely I was immersed in the culture of the club — from the daily training sessions and tactical work, to learning how to carry myself as a professional on and off the pitch. GSX didn’t just show me what professional football looks like; it gave me a clear blueprint for how to succeed at a high level and prepared me mentally, physically, and professionally for the next step in my career. Not long after my experience with GSX, I was able to secure a contract with Real Monarchs in MLS Next Pro. I can confidently say that the program played a vital role in bridging the gap between where I was and where I wanted to be. GSX gave me the exposure, guidance, and platform I needed to take that leap into the professional game.”

"I have nothing but praise and respect for the role Global Soccer Experience played in my college soccer team (University of Tampa Men’s Soccer) experience in Costa Rica for pre-season back in 2023. From the travel planning to itinerary in our 6-day trip, nothing was done that did not make our team feel like professionals. Training at LDA (Liga Deportiva Alajuelense) and how they opened their doors for us, provided the very best facilities for our training/team environment. We cannot thank LDA enough and they gained 35 fans forever. It was a trip that none of us will forget (we only wish we would have stayed longer) and we are looking to return for our next trip abroad in 2026-27. Costa Rica lives in our hearts now and a big credit to that is to Massoud & Juan who went above and beyond our expectations. I cannot give a higher recommendation for any team looking for the experience of a lifetime – pura vida!!!!"

"Our trip to Costa Rica was an unforgettable experience both on and off the field. We brought our U15 and U17 teams at LA Galaxy and had the opportunity to compete against some of the top clubs in the country challenged our players in the best way possible, pushing them to grow and perform at a higher level. Beyond the competition, the cultural exchange and hospitality we received made the trip truly special. It was an inspiring journey that gave our players memories and lessons that will last a lifetime."

"Our trip to Costa Rica was a fantastic experience and a valuable part of our preseason at Berry College. The highlight was the friendly matches—we won 1–0, lost 1–0, and tied 2–2 against strong competition that pushed us to grow as a team. The combination of high-level games, quality training, and time together off the field made it an unforgettable and productive trip."
