Footfay Center

Answers before you ask.

The questions every parent and player raise before booking a discovery call. If yours isn't here, ask us directly.

What does it cost?

There is no public price list, because every plan is different: family situation, program length and season all change it. You get the exact figure for your situation on your discovery call, together with the payment plan options, before you commit to anything.

Is my son safe so far from home?

The residence runs on 24/7 security and surveillance, Footfay handles every transport to training and matches, and meals are prepared daily by a private chef. You are not left guessing: every family gets their own login to the same app the players use, with the daily check-ins, not a weekly email.

What if he doesn't earn a trial?

We will never tell you a trial is guaranteed. Trial placement is earned through performance, not promised on arrival. What we do guarantee: every player leaves with a Player Performance Report, built from their own test data, showing exactly where their level stands, with or without a trial.

What about school?

Footfay is a full-time football program, not a school. We don't run an academic curriculum on site. Stays start from one week, so many families schedule around school holidays. For longer residencies, schooling is coordinated directly with your son's school before he travels, and we're upfront about that on the discovery call.

Do I need a visa, and what happens if it's refused?

Depending on your nationality, a student visa is part of the process. We walk through exactly what's needed on your discovery call, and what Footfay handles from our side. Because visas can be refused, your reservation is fully refundable: if the visa doesn't come through, or the first 3 days of training aren't what we promised, you leave with a full refund, no admin fee.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. A reservation fee secures the place and is fully refundable. The rest is arranged into a payment plan on your discovery call. We don't publish a fixed schedule because it's built around your program length.

I'm not ready to commit yet. What's the first step?

Book a discovery call, no obligation. We'll talk through your situation, the minimum one week stay, and whether the residency makes sense for where you are right now. If it does, we walk through next steps. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that too.

My son already plays for a club or academy at home. Is that a problem?

Not necessarily, but it's worth raising early. Some players are still under contract or inside an academy system, and that can affect timing. Tell us on the discovery call and we'll help you work out what's realistic before you book anything.
