The whole team’s adrenaline just went up and we started to play our hearts out and the game ended with us winning with a score of 4-3 !

How did FC Copa Academy help you get into the college program you will be attending?
FC Copa helped me get into NJCU because being in FC Copa, the coaches would tell me that every game that I play had to be as if it were my last because so many college coaches can be watching without you even knowing.
