Recently, Force Soccer Club's Regional Soccer Clubs Director, Marko Raduka, and Regional Technical Director, Everett Palache, traveled to Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany for an in-depth visit focused on strengthening the growing relationship between the two clubs.

The trip provided an all-access look into Eintracht Frankfurt’s operations and player development structure, from the U9 academy levels all the way through the senior professional team. The visit also included discussions surrounding future collaboration opportunities and long-term partnership initiatives between the clubs.



Among the highlights of the trip were experiencing Eintracht Frankfurt’s first-team match against RB Leipzig, touring the club’s facilities, and seeing firsthand the strong community culture connected to the Eintracht brand throughout Frankfurt.

The first phase of the partnership will include annual camps led by Eintracht Frankfurt’s international staff in both Cleveland and Columbus, quarterly virtual coaching education seminars involving staff from both organizations, and a unique team experience in August 2027 where one Cleveland Force team will travel to Germany for an immersive soccer experience hosted by Eintracht Frankfurt.

Looking ahead, the next steps in the partnership will begin this summer with camps scheduled for July in Columbus and August in Cleveland, along with the launch of the coaching education seminar series.

Additional details surrounding phase two of the partnership will be announced in the future as the relationship between the clubs continues to grow.
