FTIFA Partnership - Congratulations Ryan!

I was delighted when my good friend Ryan Vaughan informed me he had been promoted to Chief Operating Officer of the Fleetwood Town Football Group, as he is one of the most genuine, positive and hard-working people I have met in my life. Working with him is always fun, and his impact on the international academy has been phenomenal.

This summer (2024), Ryan provided full day experiences to our Odyssey Soccer International partnership with EXACT Sports, who conducted three tours comprising of activities in London and the Northwest - one in June and two in July. On each occasion, the tourists were uninamious that Fleetwood Town International Football Academy (FTIFA) was the highlight of their tour, which was such a success that EXACT are returning for a Thanks Giving tour, and the first two players (Jaiden Depuy - California and Aiden Renfrew - Texas) are here on season long PRO experiences.

In addition to this, Ryan provided a fantastic experience to Pat and his keepers, when White Glove Goalkeeping toured the Northwest in March (2024) through our partnership with Pro Soccer Global.

I have no doubts that my friendship and our working relationship with Ryan, will continue to grow and benefit the Odyssey pathways project and provide opportunities for our local Galacticos.
