Partner questions
Do I need football experience?
Operating experience matters most. We provide the football expertise, the curriculum and the coach training.
Which countries are you looking at?
Anywhere in Asia. Tell us about your market and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a fit.
What does it cost?
It depends on the model and your market. We share full terms after a first call, once we understand your plans.
Do I need my own pitches?
No. Many partners rent pitches by the hour. We'll help you assess venues and plan a schedule.
Who coaches the players?
Local coaches you hire, trained and checked by our Croatian technical team. CFA's Croatian coaches lead camps and visits.
Can I start small?
Yes. Many partners begin with camps and coach education at Partner level, then grow into a full CFA academy.
Will my players get access to the pathway?
Yes. Players at partner programmes can join our camps in Asia and in Croatia, and be assessed for the pathway to Croatian clubs.
How do you help with marketing?
Partners get the CFA brand, a website, social and print materials, and support with their launch campaign.
How do you protect quality?
Every partner follows the same curriculum, coach training and safeguarding standards, with regular quality visits from our team.
How long does launch take?
Typically a few months from agreement to first sessions, depending on venues, coaches and the model you choose.
