Founded by Merrill Trejo Winpenny in 2005, our programme with a comprehensive approach to player development began with training sessions conducted in English by UEFA qualified staff, which put us at the top of our game. Over the years, our brand and programme has evolved in conjunction with established international partnerships, helping create new pathways and international learning experiences for our young players.

During this time, our programme has always remained true to its vision.

Focusing on technical, tactical, physical, psychological and social aspects, the International Football Academy (IFA) develops talented, multi-skilled players who demonstrate exceptional sportsmanship, player integrity, and love for the game.

• Community – We pride ourselves in a sense of togetherness and unity
• Excellence – We have high standards and we hold ourselves to those standards
• Passion – Our love for the game unites and connects us with those that want to share it with us
• Competitiveness – We play hard, smart and fair, we seek to win at all times though not at all costs
• Gratitude – We are selfless, we are humble and we are thankful for those opportunities. We treat others the way we want to be treated
• Discipline – We are rigorous in our approach. We make sacrifices to reach our goals
• Integrity – We will always do the right things. Do things the right way and give 100%
