Revolution United FC – The importance of football in growing successful youth

A FORMATIVE REVOLUTION

Ten years ago, a football academy was founded in Fairfield (Connecticut - USA) with the aim of offering a comprehensive, integrated sports education system to 'develop excellent male and female footballers'. Today, Revolution United is an important reference point for the world of football in the northeast of the States. At the backbone of this initiative lies the hard work of a high-level technical and managerial staff, including Fabian Cano, the club's president and director of coaches. In a short time, he has given a strong impetus to the programme and tripled the number of teams linked to the project.

MISSION: HOLISTIC FOOTBALLERS

Being a good footballer and growing on a personal and human level are not mutually exclusive. For this reason, the path offered in Revolution United FC aims to develop technical skills as well as team spirit, sportsmanship, respect and self-esteem: qualities that allow you to 'build' first a young athlete, then a successful footballer and person. Fabian Cano and his staff work every day to create competitive teams in the broadest sense of the word: the goal is to provide the academy's players with all the tools they need to express their full potential and develop holistically.

THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERFACE WITH EUROPEAN FOOTBALL

One of the most valuable experiences Revolution United FC athletes can benefit from is the opportunity to be seen and scouted by professional European clubs. RUFC has partnered with several Spanish La Liga teams, giving US athletes the chance to train with the youth sectors of some of the big clubs on the Iberian Peninsula. In February 2022, for example, the program will see several RUFC players travel to Madrid, where they’ll be able to train for a week with La Liga coaches.

MACRON – A PARTNERSHIP OF SHARED VALUES

Building a strong sense of community is a very important aspect of the way sport is experienced at Revolution United FC, and a value passionately shared by Macron. This partnership thus thrives on shared values and a shared attribution of importance to providing children with the right support and opportunities. "We immediately felt connected to Macron because we recognise ourselves in their mission and project. - said Fabian Cano - We are excited to be part of the 'Macron family', and we look forward to many more years together".
