SELECT GENERATION FC

Developing Players at The Next Level
Inaugural season 2025/ 2026 in Bournemouth, England

Select Generation FC Vision and Objectives

The Select Generation mission is to advance the ambition of elite soccer players wishing to further their education and/ or compete professionally.

We provide opportunities for student-athletes to receive college athletic scholarships and to gain attention from professional clubs in the UK, Europe and the U.S.
The Select Generation program offers selected players the chance to experience an academy-style soccer program in the birthplace of the game – where passion for soccer is embedded in the culture.
Similar to top NCAA programs that recruit internationally, our academy provides US athletes with a unique life experience and an advanced soccer education that is comparable with a top US college program.  Select Generation FC will develop players in a professional environment, while allowing them to complete a one year academic course or a three year UK university degree.
When they return to the US they will be even more attractive to U.S. colleges and professional clubs, thanks to their enhanced soccer resume and development in England.

THE PLAYER EXPERIENCE

The 2025/ 2026 inaugural season will compete in a highly competitive men’s football league and have opportunities to play at the Under-23 level. The 25 man roster will train with talented and dedicated team members in high-quality facilities, receiving professional training from UEFA licensed coaches, ensuring rapid development in an academy-style setup.
The squad will consist of two teams playing in different leagues. Players will have the chance to play for both teams, maximizing their experience in men’s football and at Under-23 level, while allowing for necessary rest periods.
The Select Generation Program also includes a gym pass, local bus pass, transport to games and options for accommodation, tuition and meal plan options.
Our matches are expected to attract scouts from various professional clubs. If a professional football club offers to sign one of our players, Select Generation will promptly contact the player’s family to facilitate the best decision. Our goal is to provide such opportunities and to support our players in their ambition to become semi-pro or professional.

1

Bachelor's degree at Bournemouth University or US College (remote course), whilst playing for Select Generation FC.
