Local Support and Representation

There is a program manager who is the person designated locally to manage the program and help participants get oriented initially and to support the participants throughout the pre-season and season. The Program Manager is responsible for managing participants’ trials and placements with clubs and to assist where needed if any issues may arise that may demand the support of a native speaker of the language.

As soon as one of our partner clubs offers the IFX participant the opportunity to compete with their club for the season, we begin the process of applying for the participants’ International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and subsequently their player license. Although the process can be extremely bureaucratic as it entails sending several documents through many different hands, thanks to our experience players just need to sign and play.
