For WSA Host Families

Hosting an international player is an opportunity to make a lasting impact while welcoming the world into your home.

WSA Host Families play a vital role in helping student-athletes feel safe, supported, and connected during their experience in the United States. Families provide encouragement, daily guidance, and a home environment that allows players to succeed both on the field and in everyday life.

As a host family, you will:

• Build meaningful relationships with international players
• Share American culture, values, and traditions
• Learn about different cultures and perspectives
• Support a young athlete pursuing their dreams
• Become part of a unique global football community
• Help create an unforgettable life experience for a player far from home

Many host families develop lifelong friendships that continue long after the season ends.

WSA International Football Academy

One Game. One World. One Future.

The WSA International Football Academy was created to connect talented international footballers with a life-changing experience both on and off the field. Built on the foundation of competitive excellence, cultural exchange, and servant leadership, the Academy provides international players the opportunity to train, compete, study, and grow within one of the nation’s most respected soccer environments.

Through the Academy, international players are identified and welcomed into the WSA family experience — living with carefully selected host families, training alongside high-level WSA teams, and gaining exposure to college, showcase, and professional opportunities in the United States.

More than soccer, more than football, the program is designed to create meaningful relationships and lasting global connections. Players experience American culture firsthand while sharing their own traditions, backgrounds, and stories with the families and teams that host them.
