Happy Holidays from Play Soccer Overseas!

With universities across the UK closing for the festive period, our staff will also be taking a short break.

Our office will be closed from Friday 22nd December 2023 to Tuesday 2nd January 2024.

Please note that during this period, our team won’t be available to respond personally to new applications, emails, or phone calls. Rest assured, we will follow up and address any communication promptly upon our return in the New Year.

Reflecting on the year gone by, we want to thank all of the incredible students and partners who we’ve had the privilege of working with in 2023 and look forward to working with you in 2024.

Happy Holidays from the Play Soccer Overseas team!

Welcome to Play Soccer Overseas!

By Education, Sport

Welcome to Play Soccer Overseas!

The U.K. is home to some of the most famous clubs in world football as well as some of the most iconic academic institutions. As a fantastic country for both sport and education, we provide a free service to help aspiring footballers of all ages experience what the U.K. has to offer.

We are passionate about providing sporting pathways that allow students to combine their footballing ambitions alongside an academic qualification.

Over the last five years, via our original brand Play Overseas, we have helped hundreds of former U.S. college athletes’ move to the U.K. to pursue their graduate degree alongside their preferred sport. A move that has been made popular due to the different eligibility rules of UK college sport.

As our connections with academic institutions and clubs throughout the U.K. expanded, we decided to launch Play Soccer Overseas to help highlight all of the fantastic soccer opportunities that are available for international student-athletes.

We welcome applications from male and female players of all nationalities and levels of study.
