Premiership Football attracts fans and players from all over the world

Soccer, better known as soccer in Europe (except in Italy where it is called “calcium”), has become the most popular sport in the world. From China to Mexico and everywhere in between, professional soccer draws crazed crowds, incredible athletes, and big business.

football madness abroad

While football enjoys a devoted fan base around the world, no one loves the so-called “Beautiful Game” as fiercely as the fans in England. In fact, footie fans in England can be termed fanatics, rather than fanatics. If you think the crowds at American field soccer games are passionate, you’d probably describe English soccer spectators as raving lunatics. This reverence explains why 80 per cent of the money generated by professional football is made in England alone.

Americans are finally spreading football fever

Despite the European fervor for the game Americans call soccer, professional soccer is a relatively new venture in the United States. Somehow, professional football has yet to emerge from the shadows of basketball, baseball, and gridiron football here. North American soccer fans certainly hope that the success of Major League Soccer will eventually make soccer the national sport. In fact, in the last twenty years, soccer has become the most popular participatory youth sport in North America.

Youth players from the US head to England for training and professional careers

Inevitably, young players raised in the US and Canada grow up thirsty for pro soccer glory. With professional soccer still in its infancy in their own country, many are turning to soccer internship programs to study abroad and international soccer training camps. Attracted by the competitive advantage of English teams and the unmatched enthusiasm of English fans, most players will prefer to train in England.

Premiership football, the heart of football in England

The best teams in Europe play under the English Premiership Professional Football Club. The Premiership, as it is often known, is the most profitable football (soccer) league in the world, not to mention the most watched sports league in the history of professional sports. Aspiring professional soccer players from all over the world dream of playing against each other.

The Premiership welcomes young international players under its wing

English football camps and schools run by Premiership teams such as Blackburn Rovers FC and Bolton Wanderers FC make this dream come true for many players. The best of these programs, like those sponsored by EduKick, provide intense professional soccer development courses, as well as cultural exposure and strong academics at the high school or college level. Also, soccer students who train in England have an excellent chance of being noticed and recruited by the leading Premiership teams.
