Forging the Legacy: The Essence of Argentine Soccer
The idea of Argentine soccer is recognized worldwide for the talent, the offensive approach, the winning mentality and the collective passion that identifies it. Throughout history, soccer players and coaches have built this unique identity, a way of living soccer that goes far beyond what happens on the field.
It is because of this legacy and historical journey that the Argentine National Soccer Team managed to become one of the most winning teams in the history of world soccer, being the cradle of a huge number of “talented artists for soccer” who took the Argentine flag to the top of the soccer world.
AFA International was created with the objective of bringing and spreading the idea of the Argentine game around the world, giving the opportunity to soccer players and coaches to develop under the work methodology that promotes and identifies it. This way of playing aims to develop dynamic, creative and passionate athletes, capable of playing a game that represents the Argentine spirit. We seek to provide integral tools to coaches, managers, physical trainers and all the specific areas related to the formative process in soccer.
In recent years, elite soccer has become more and more vertiginous and demanding, without a greater dedication to the preparation of the technical, physical, tactical and mental aspects necessary for the players to carry out the different tactics and team profiles according to the soccer culture in each league or country.
In this context, it becomes essential and differential to train athletes with a comprehensive methodology, which seeks technical and strategic excellence, as well as containing a high component of passion and identity, which will always be accompanied by a serious education that allows a better understanding of the game and life.
Talent, Idea, Respect, Passion, Legacy, Competence, Excellence and Resilience.
