Short answers to what players, parents and clubs ask us most.
ID11 is a global sporting group that builds football pathways for players aged 16 to 24. It connects players to a network of 200+ professional clubs, training hubs in Paris, Cologne and Spain, and a degree route with ISC Paris Business School.
It starts with a free player consultation and a sporting review. Then we recommend a route: professional football, Study and Play, or an academy block. After that you train, get seen, and we make introductions when the timing is right.
The pathway is for players aged 16 to 24. Below 16, the answer is usually not yet.
Yes, from 16. Academy blocks of about 4, 8 or 12 weeks run at partner academies in Paris, Cologne and Spain. FIFA rules limit international transfers of players under 18, so we explain what applies to you.
It can help. You get daily coaching, match minutes and video from a European environment. College coaches make their own decisions, so we never promise a place.
ID11 has worked in player development since 2003 and is based in Huntington Beach, California, with hubs in Europe. It never guarantees trials, contracts or scholarships. You get an honest assessment and everything in writing.
Accommodation is confirmed in writing for the hub and dates. Each hub has a named lead who lives there, and you get their contact before arrival.
Yes. Study and Play combines a full European season with a three-year bachelor's degree from ISC Paris Business School, accredited by AACSB and AMBA. ISC Paris decides admission and awards the degree.
Yes. ID11 offers consultancy for clubs, multi-club and academy partnerships, tournaments and tours, sponsorship and investment. Clubs, academies and investors can use the partner and investor form.
Terms are agreed individually with each organisation. Start a conversation to get specifics.
