Empoli FC Academy USA

 

 

Like every child growing up in Italy, Gavino Asteghene dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player. That dream was achieved at the age of 12 when he was signed as a full-time player at the Italian School Developmental Program.  Gavino became an effective and sucessful youth and high school coach and was named Coach of the Year by his peers at GSSA in 1999.  He has been in popular demand in the local soccer community for the past 30 years and given hundreds of players the opportunity to showcase their soccer skills in front of college coaches and professional teams. After years of traveling internationally and visiting many professional soccer academies, he found what he considers to be the best youth developmental program at Empoli FC Academy. The academy believes, breeds and provides top training and gives the best opportunity for players from the United States and other countries to live out their soccer dream.

 

In the heart of Tuscany in the outskirts of Florence, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, Empoli FC professional training facility stands tall against all others. The talented staff trains players of different ages from different countries, infusing the passion of the game with the technical skill set needed for young players to reach the top
