NCE Soccer is delighted to unveil the stunning new international kit for 2024.
Our players will proudly wear the stylish Nike Academy kit as they take on the world’s best teams in England, Italy, Brazil, and Sweden – and this year they will proudly showcase our charity partner NCE Foundation.
NCE Foundation was created to support children through sport by raising much-needed funds for those who need it most – and to provide financial assistance for those youngsters with outstanding ability by may face challenges financially.
Top performers from within NCE Soccer Programming are selected to wear the kit as they represent the United States at tournaments worldwide.
“The new kit looks fantastic and we are so proud that it bears the name of the NCE Foundation,” explained NCE Soccer founder John Curtis.
“I’ve wanted to create the foundation since we launched NCE Soccer as I truly believe that sport, and soccer in particular, should be for all and to see it adorned on the front of our new shirts is something of a dream come true.
“The International kit represents the pinnacle of NCE Soccer. The kit is only worn by our top performing players and represents a huge achievement for those who are selected to wear it.
“We are constantly seeking to evolve and improve and want to be best in class and we have no doubts that Nike is the perfect kit partner for NCE Soccer. Our values are aligned and the quality of their kit provides us with the best in class,  we think the new design is stunning.
“We have also listened to feedback re our girls’ kit and, just as the likes of Manchester City and dozens of international teams, have done, we have modified our color scheme for the girls and are introducing black shorts.
“It is crucial our players feel comfortable and can concentrate simply on the game without worrying about anything else, so we felt it was appropriate to change the color to black.”
NCE Soccer has a huge year lined up for 2024 taking boys and girls teams around the world to play against the best teams on the planet.
In February NCE Soccer travels with both boys and girls teams to the United Kingdom for the Pro Pathway Tour, a week in the North West of England facing up against professional academy teams.
The three squads will be based in Manchester for seven days of highly competitive action against Academy players hoping to earn professional contracts at clubs like Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City & Liverpool.
“This is one of my favorite tours as this is a real test for the players, a fantastic experience to test themselves against young players who will give everything to earn that first professional contract,” John added.
“For the vast majority of these players, they don’t have the fallback of college or university, this is it, their one chance of making it and, as a result, the intensity is far greater than anything our players face in the States.
“The players also train with professional coaches at some of the leading academies in the country to provide them with a real understanding of the standards that are expected to make it as a professional.”
Easter is a hugely busy time for NCE Soccer with two tours taking place simultaneously as boys and girls squads fly to Italy to take on some of the best teams in Europe, whilst two boys teams fly to South America to soccer’s spiritual home, Brazil.
These seven-day trips provide players with the opportunity to play against the likes of AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Fluminense FC. Botafogo and Boa Vista whilst also experiencing the incredible cultures of both countries.
Supporters traveling with the squads enjoy sightseeing in Venice, Milan, Rio de Janeiro and the sights and sounds of the famous Copacabana, Sugar Loaf Mountain, the Maracana Stadium, and much much more.
Then it’s a mouthwatering summer trip to England and the Pro Academy Tour where both boys and girls teams face off against the likes of Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, and the top Academy teams in the country.
Sweden provides a fitting international finale for NCE Soccer’s overseas tours as the girls travel to Gothia and the World Youth Cup.
This is an incredible opportunity for our players to take on the best teams in the world. Thousands of teams across multiple age groups compete in a week of top-class soccer action to become crowned the best in the world.
And, of course, NCE Soccer has a proud history in Gothia having secured the title in 2019 as our girls took on and beat the top teams on the planet to secure the title.
Players hoping for the opportunity to represent NCE Soccer and wear the new international kit must earn their place via tryouts to initially gain selection to our programming.
Our coaches are then constantly evaluating players progression and those reaching sufficient standards will be invited to join the NCE Soccer Select International teams, the pinnacle of NCE Soccer.
