Founded in Boston, Massachusetts, Valeo Futbol began with a powerful idea: football should be a tool for social and educational transformation.
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Valeo uses the sport to inspire leadership, promote academic achievement, and open doors to life-changing opportunities.
From its roots in the United States, Valeo has grown into a global network — with academies and affiliates in Portugal, Jamaica, Ireland, Kenya, and now, the United Arab Emirates.
Valeo FC Emirates continues that legacy — bringing a nonprofit model of access, excellence, and global opportunity to the Emirates.
To develop better players, scholars, and leaders by integrating elite football education with academics and character development.
Valeo FC Emirates provides a pathway for players of all backgrounds to earn U.S. college scholarships, gain exposure, and reach their full potential.
A world where every young player — regardless of nationality or income — can access the same high-quality training, education, and mentorship as anyone else.
Every player that joins Valeo FC Emirates becomes part of a global movement — a community that believes in the transformative power of football.
