The Format

EVERY GUNDUA EVENT
FOLLOWS TWO PHASES

Built on a tested blueprint. Each event is a structured programme, not a one-day open trial. Two phases, deliberately sequenced.

Phase One
THE CLINIC
Days 1–3 · Coaching & Education
—
Intensive Coaching Sessions
Top-tier developmental coaches work directly with athletes. Technical, tactical, physical and mental preparation — not generic drills.
—
Coach Seminars
AFCAS-certified continuing education for coaches attending. Internationally recognised credentials on completion.
—
Sports Psychology & Preparation
Athletes prepare mentally for what's coming in Phase 2. Psychologists, physiotherapists, and nutritionists on site.
—
Certificates of Participation
Every attending coach receives a certificate from AFCAS — an internationally recognised credential they take home.
Phase Two
THE SHOWCASE
Days 4–10 · Trials & Tournament
—
Open Scouting Trials
Athletes perform in structured trial formats in front of verified scouts from UK, Spain, USA and local professional clubs.
—
Competitive Tournament
U17 and U19 competitive matches involving local clubs, invited academies, and trial squads. Real conditions, real pressure.
—
International Scout Attendance
Verified scouts and club representatives from our AFCAS, FutbolJobs, and Soccer Syndicate networks attend in person or via live scouting reports.
—
Post-Event Pathways
Standout athletes receive follow-up from scouts and clubs within 30 days. Pathway access — not just exposure. Results that go somewhere.
