At the Midas Academy, our love for soccer goes beyond the four lines of the field; it extends to the deep-seated passion to bridge the pervasive opportunity gap that plagues youth soccer. We recognize that a significant disparity exists where certain groups receive a disproportionate share of coaching opportunities, inevitably leading to better prospects in high-level play. These opportunities should not be the prerogative of just a few but should be open to every young talent that shows promise and passion.

Our mission is simple yet profound: to democratize the access to world-class soccer training. We are leveraging decades of international coaching experience to ensure that every young athlete under our wings is given the unparalleled training they need. At Midas Academy, every child gets the chance to hone their skills to match international standards, irrespective of their background or past experiences. Our eyes are firmly set on the horizon, where we envision our trainees accessing avenues of high-level college or international play, which have been historically elusive to many.

We fervently believe that when talent meets opportunity, magic happens. And it’s our pledge to be the bridge between these two. The name ‘Midas’ is synonymous with transformation, and at the Midas Academy, we are committed to turning raw, youthful energy into gold—by opening doors, breaking barriers, and crafting pathways to success.

The game of soccer is universal, and so should be the opportunities within it. Join us in our mission to change the game, level the playing field, and redefine the future of youth soccer.
