Eugenio Figueredo (Vice President, CONMEBOL, South American Football Confederation) arrived at Herndon Youth Soccer to spend 3 days within our organization and was received by Nick Arzani (Technical Director of Herndon Youth Soccer).
The purpose of his visit was to build a culture of educational exchanges of coaches and players between the club and different football federations in South America.
The aim is to try to expand with his help the promotion of futsal in the area, and hopefully with the intention of organizing an international event here.
