What Is SoccerViza

Not a combine. Not an agency. Not a 'go pro' program.

Most talented players never get a fair shot — not because they aren't good enough, but because no one was watching. SoccerViza exists to change that. A full-time professional environment in Costa Rica where players train at professional standards, play real matches on film, get seen by real scouts, and learn how the business of football actually works. No shortcuts. No empty promises. Just a proven pathway.

It's about understanding how football really works, knowing where you can go, and learning exactly what it takes to get there.

We own the entire pathway.

Costa Rica is SoccerViza's home. It's where our identity was built—where we established a culture, raised standards, and helped elevate the level of football on the East Coast. What we created there wasn't temporary; it was foundational.

At SoccerViza, we don't operate as a middleman. We build the entire pathway. Players develop within our environment and earn the opportunity to step directly into our professional team. That structure allows us to control standards, accelerate progression, and evaluate talent in real conditions—not theory.

This isn't about placement. It's about ownership of the process, the environment, and the outcome.

Costa Rica is where that system lives at its highest level.

Jaylen Drummond

Club Placement

A Canadian Division I college player who also featured in League1 Canada, finished school without professional offers and joined SoccerViza's Development Center, where he quickly stood out. At the time, we were investors in Olimpia Satu Mare in Romania and brought him directly into that professional environment, then moved him on to MFK Snina to continue his progression in Europe — demonstrating how SoccerViza creates and manages real opportunities when traditional pathways fall short.

Aaron Walker

Club Placement / Career Mentorship

Despite being told he wouldn't play professionally at Division III Oglethorpe University, with SoccerViza's guidance, Aaron signed his first pro contract in Iceland before moving to FC Cincinnati and later becoming captain of Greenville Triumph. A USL League One champion and All-League selection, Aaron is now one of the most capped players in league history and continues to lead as a player-coach at South Georgia Tormenta. SoccerViza has supported his journey every step of the way.

Leo Montesinos

Signed For SoccerViza FC / Career Progression

Another Division III player told he wasn't good enough for the professional level. Through SoccerViza, he proved otherwise. After coming through our program, he signed with our professional team in Costa Rica, SoccerViza FC, before moving on to Romania with our club, Olimpia Satu Mare. His consistent growth and determination have now taken him all the way to the top league in Asia, where he plays for Hong Kong FC.

Zac Lubin

Club Placement / Career Mentorship

A product of SoccerViza's PRO Player Development Center in 2012, Lubin impressed with his strong goalkeeping performances and shot-stopping abilities. Described as "top level" by evaluators, he earned a trial with Hamar (Iceland) in 2012. Beyond launching Lubin's professional career, SoccerViza provided him with ongoing support throughout his career, including guidance on contract negotiations and career advice.
