Messina Promises
The ACR Messina Academy provides every player with exposure to national scouting events and competitive fixtures, creating real opportunities to be seen by professional clubs. Former academy players have signed professional contracts across Italy, and graduates progress into professional or semi-professional football, opening university pathways through our educational partnerships.
The ACR Messina Academy attracts talented players from around the world, offering full support with visas, bilingual English–Italian programs, and dedicated language classes. International athletes immerse themselves in Italian culture through guided tours, social experiences, and daily life within the vibrant Messina community.
The ACR Messina Academy ensures every player under 18 is enrolled in a recognised education program, supported by weekly classroom hours focused on academics, personal development, and life skills. Language development is central, with international players learning Italian and Italian players studying English. Workshops in leadership, financial literacy, nutrition, digital etiquette, and media skills further prepare athletes for their future in and beyond football.
