2026-Forward

New, direct partnership with a top European Club!

It is with great pride, honor, and excitement that we announce the affiliation of Real Soccer Club (Real SC) as an official academy of Villarreal CF, one of Spain’s most respected professional football clubs and renowned youth academies.

This affiliation is a genuine, long-term partnership rather than a simple branding initiative. It is a true club-to-club relationship, built on a direct partnership with one of Europe’s most respected professional clubs and youth academies. We will enjoy a comprehensive player and coach development pathway that provides direct access to Villarreal CF’s methodology, technical expertise, coach education, and international programs.

Among the many benefits, players who aspire to reach the next level will have the opportunity to travel to Spain and immerse themselves for one week in the daily experience of the Villarreal Academy, completing individual training sessions with Villarreal CF coaches and joining one of the academy teams for afternoon training. During this experience, players will train and be evaluated within one of Europe’s premier player development environments while experiencing the professional culture that has produced talent for one of Spain’s top football clubs.

In short, this affiliation represents a historic milestone for our club and opens the door to an unprecedented player and coach development pathway for our community. See Affiliation Benefits.
