Who we are?
EFP Academy is more than just a training program — it’s a brand that connects the pathway between Canada and Europe for high-performance soccer. We bring UEFA Pro Coaches to Canada to train players through programs, clinics, and elite sessions.
Through our international network, we provide players opportunities to attend events and training sessions with European clubs, gaining exposure to professional environments. Once a player is ready, EFP supports their journey toward European contracts, bridging the gap between development in Canada and professional football abroad.
