FAQs of Pro Life in 28 Days
Experience 28 days of pure football transformation. Elite UEFA coaching, pro-club training environment, and full individual analysis. It’s more than a program, it’s your first real step toward becoming the player you were meant to be.
Who is the 28-Day Program designed for?
The program is built for aspiring footballers (ages 12–23) who want to experience a professional training environment, improve their game, and understand what it takes to compete at a European level.
Will I be evaluated for future opportunities?
Yes. All players will be evaluated by our coaching staff and performance analysts. Based on performance, some players may be invited to join longer programs or be considered for club trials.
Is this program safe for international players?
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 supervision, secure accommodations, and an experienced support staff to guide players throughout the experience.
Can parents visit during the program?
Yes, parents are welcome to visit during the 28-Day Program. We encourage family involvement and offer opportunities to observe UEFA-led training sessions. We’ll also provide regular player progress updates and assist with nearby hotel recommendations to ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit
What is the daily schedule like?
Each day is designed to maximize development and immersion. Players begin with breakfast, followed by a high-level morning training session led by UEFA-licensed coaches. Afternoons include lunch, recovery time, and personal development sessions. In the evenings, around 7:00 PM, players are fully integrated into a high-tier Portuguese club team based on their age, allowing them to train and compete alongside local players. Dinner is served post-training, tailored for optimal recovery. This structured schedule ensures both growth on the field and a safe, enriching cultural experience in Lisbon during the weekends.
What happens after the 28 days?
The 28-day experience is just the beginning. Many players discover their true potential and hunger for more once fully immersed in European football. After completing the program, players receive a personalized progress report and pathway recommendation.
Those who show commitment and growth are invited to continue in our extended 90- or 180-day programs. Designed for deeper development, consistent exposure, and a stronger shot at securing a spot with a high-tier Portuguese club. If your dream is to pursue football seriously, the next step is essential.
Testimonials
Real Stories. Real Growth. Real Results.
Kickstart Europe - 28 Day immersive Football program in Portugal. Our players’ journeys say it all. From technical development to personal growth, these testimonials reflect the real impact of our academy, both on and off the pitch.
We were nervous sending our 16 year old son to another country, but the support from VERUM has been outstanding. The individualized training and constant communication made it feel like a second home for him. He’s now stronger, more focused, and dreaming bigger. Highly recommended.

Coach Luís F.
Lisbon, Partner Club
The 28 days in Portugal were amazing and intense. Training with UEFA coaches and getting to play with a local team felt like a dream. I’ve noticed a big improvement, and it made me realize how seriously I want to take football.
Gabriel Elliot
Florida, USA - Age 16
My son arrived at VERUM as a talented but shy player. What stood out to us immediately was how seriously the coaches took his development, not just on the field, but mentally and emotionally. We’ve seen him grow into a more confident and mature young man. It’s clear this academy genuinely cares. Great job and thank you.

In just a month, I felt like I lived the life of a pro footballer. From the morning sessions to the evening club trainings, everything was top level. Thank you all for giving me such an amazing experience.
Ruben Suarez
New Jersey, USA - Age 15
My son had always trained hard back home with his club, but at the VERUM Football Academy, he got introduced to a completely different level. He said that the technical sessions, the game intelligence work, and even the video analysis gave him a much deeper understanding of European football. He’s not just a better player—he’s a smarter one. And that’s something I’m so happy about.
