Real Madrid
Jeremey De Leon, IDA Valencia Alum, at only 19-years old has signed a professional contract with Real Madrid. Jeremy's two-year contract will last until 2026. He was a part of the Champions League team and debuted in his first game during Real Madrid's US tour.
San Diego FC
Harrison Bertos spent a one-month player experience at IDA Valencia, where he gained valuable training and development. He continued his progress at the University of Washington, playing a key role in the Huskies’ success in 2024. His strong performances caught the attention of MLS scouts, leading to his selection by San Diego FC in the 2025 MLS SuperDraft with the 31st overall pick.
Al-Hala SC | Yemen National Team
Harwan, an IDA UK alumni, joined the Yemen national team, playing key roles in their recent matches, including scoring goals in back-to-back games. He also earned him a professional contract with Al-Hala SC, where he currently plays as a defender.
DME Academy/AS Frenzi
Yan recently was named to the Top Drawer Soccer "23 Male Players Who Dominated 2023" list.
Seemingly from nowhere, Diomande broke the UPSL this summer. Only 16 years old at the time, Diomande led AS Frenzi to the UPSL championship as he scored both goals in the 2-1 victory over Sporting Wichita. The Ivory Coast U17 Forward led the entire league in goals, won the MVP award, and had plenty of skillful moments that went viral through his historic run. In a league of grown men, Diomande stood a class apart, leading to several trials with MLS and European clubs as it seems a matter of when, not if, he leaves the Florida-based academy for a professional contract.
CF Montréal
Arik Duncan joined IDA Valencia for a gap year to improve his game, benefiting from elite coaching and a focused environment. After returning to college soccer at the University of California, Berkeley, he became a standout player, leading the team in goals and points in 2024. His strong performances earned him a spot in the 2025 MLS SuperDraft, where he was selected by CF Montréal with the 44th overall pick.
Sheffield Wednesday FC
Killian Barrett, the Irish Goalkeeper from IDA UK, signed his first professional contract with Sheffield Wednesday. Killian joined IDA when he was only 16 years old and played for the academy 4 years!
Villarreal CF
Neville Knowles III, a striker from the US, signed a two year contract with Villarreal CF just two months after he started playing with our partner club, UD Vall de Uxo.
Neville began his full-time IDA journey in Valencia this year where he made waves immediately. He will now get the opportunity to contribute and grow with one of Spain's top football clubs!
During his first friendly gam, Neville scored two goals in a 4-3 Villarreal CF win. He will soon have his debut in league play against FB Sagunto.
Res Roma | Gonzaga
Kyah had spent one summer with the Vietnam Football Federation's U-19 squad, and claims that both her experience there as well as with IDA helped her continue down the path of reaching her goal.
After her time at IDA, Le played for Serie C side Res Roma and plays now at Gonzaga where she started every game in the 2024 season.
