RESIDENCE PROGRAM

If you are a serious and committed soccer player looking for an opportunity to live, train and think like a Brazilian player, consider joining NIFC for the Residence Program.  This is a unique chance any foreign player will have to be totally integrated with “The Brazilian Soccer Way of Life”.  You will join Brazilian players of your own age group and for the duration of the program (4-8-12 or more weeks), you will be treated and coached as one of them.  We believe this total immersion will bring positive results for you not only on the field developing your skills as a soccer player, but also off the field as a human being who will assimilate cultural traits and differences encountered in the Brazilian culture.

Another great way of experiencing NIFC and “The Brazilian Soccer Way of Life” is through the Group Program.  Under this format, NIFC open their doors to individual teams (high school, club, and college) who are looking for an opportunity to train with highly qualified Brazilian coaches, as well as play games against some of the toughest opponents around.

We will work alongside your coaching staff to design an experience that will meet your soccer needs.  A typical layout of this program includes training sessions coached by Brazilian professionals alternating with friendly matches against local teams.  The length of this program is usually 10 days.
