Keystone Sports – UK Women’s Soccer Showcase

Keystone Sports with College Scholarships USA & Future Elite Sports will host Europe’s largest soccer showcase for Women held in top-class facilities at Leigh Sports Village, Greater Manchester (ca. 30 minutes outside of Manchester)

The event is an excellent opportunity to showcase your talent in front of coaches from US universities who want to recruit players. We invite girls from all over the U.K. Ireland, & the rest of Europe.

Several players who participated in the 2022 showcase received great offers and are now on the way to take their soccer career to the next level for Fall 2023 in the USA.

In addition to playing games against players from all over, it’s also an opportunity to learn about playing soccer, studying, scholarships, and life as a student-athlete in the USA.

We expect a good number of college coaches to attend, and many will watch online.

The showcase is for Keystone Sports, College Scholarships USA & Future Elite Clients and Trialists who want to learn more. The interest in the event is big among players and there are limited spots. We recommend registering well in advance. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend the game and college presentations.

Registration: LINK

Note: we recommend becoming a client before the showcase to improve your chances of getting the best scholarships.
