The International Soccer Experience (ISX) is a unique opportunity for elite youth players to train, travel, and compete internationally, representing NY Empire FC on a global stage.

Players are chosen through Talent ID events, tryouts, and coach recommendations based on skill, character, and readiness for high-level competition.

ISX typically includes players between 9 and 18 years old, organized into competitive teams by age and ability.

Players compete in elite tournaments like the Donosti Cup, facing top international clubs and academy-level opponents.

Playing time is earned, not guaranteed, but our coaches aim to give every player meaningful minutes in a balanced and competitive environment.

Our coaches are experienced professionals, including college, ODP, MLS NEXT, and semi-pro coaches with deep knowledge of elite player development.

All of the above — ISX offers high-level soccer development, exposure to scouts and coaches, and a cultural experience that builds character and perspective.

Yes, players will participate in training sessions run by international coaches and may interact with professional clubs depending on the destination.
