Coach and Play Football Abroad
|
|
Football is the only true global game, attracting bigger crowds and participation than any other sport worldwide.
It is the national sport for many countries, with excellent opportunities to coach and play football in the developing world. If you are looking to play or coach football abroad, then choose a placement to suit your gap year or career break plans.
Real Sport Experience's sports volunteer football placements allow you to be part of the future development and education of children at grass-roots level. Coaching football abroad lets you volunteer with enthusiastic and willing children, who want to play this great game and learn as much as they can.
Alternatively, if you want to benefit from the experience and expertise of former internationals, join an academy and play football abroad.
