Introducing IDA Pro Combine: A New Opportunity for Player Exposure and Development

International Development Academy (IDA) is proud to introduce the IDA Pro Combine – a new, high-level experience designed for players who are serious about their development and interested in exploring next-step opportunities in the game.

This is not a traditional camp or a one-off showcase.

The IDA Pro Combine is a structured, professional environment where players train, compete, and are evaluated while gaining exposure to both clubs and university programs.

A More Complete Approach to the Combine Experience

The Pro Combine has been designed to go beyond simple visibility.

Throughout the week, players will take part in a balanced program that combines:

Tactical and technical training sessions
Competitive matches against Spanish clubs
Individual feedback and performance analysis
Educational sessions around pathways and decision-making

The objective is not only to provide exposure, but to help players better understand where they stand and what their next steps could look like.

Players will have the opportunity to compete in front of and interact with a range of clubs and college programs.

Supporting Different Player Pathways

One of the key aspects of the IDA Pro Combine is helping players and families better understand their options.

Whether a player is interested in pursuing opportunities in Spain or exploring the U.S. college pathway, the event provides:

Direct exposure to coaches and recruiters
Insight into different development routes
Guidance on what each pathway requires

As Tommaso Trevisan, COO of Global Soccer Alliance, explains:

“Our role is to help players and families better understand the landscape. By bringing together both club and college environments, we’re able to provide more context and help players make more informed decisions.”

A Professional and Structured Environment

The IDA Pro Combine is delivered within IDA’s academy framework, ensuring a level of structure and consistency throughout the experience.

Players are coached and evaluated within a setting that reflects the expectations of the next level, while still being supported throughout the process.

Vicente Bosch, Lead of the IDA Pro Combine, shares:

“The focus is on creating a realistic environment where players can perform, receive feedback, and understand what is required to progress. It’s about clarity as much as it is about opportunity.”

Jordi Gómez, COO of IDA Valencia, adds:

“We want players and families to feel confident in the experience. Everything is designed to be organized, transparent, and aligned with how we operate day to day at the academy.”

A Selective Experience

The IDA Pro Combine is intended for players who are ready to step into a more demanding environment and are open to being evaluated.

While exposure is part of the experience, the emphasis remains on:

Performance
Learning
Understanding next steps

Looking Ahead

The IDA Pro Combine reflects IDA’s ongoing commitment to creating structured, meaningful opportunities for players within the global game.

By bringing together training, competition, and pathway education in one setting, the goal is simple:

To give players a clearer picture of where they are and where they can go next.
