Lake Oswego and Portland, OR, Feb. 21, 2023 – Oregon United Football Club (OUFC) and Academia De Futebol (ADF) are excited to announce a visionary partnership aimed at greatly enhancing the player pathway for both clubs - and delivering valuable opportunities to underserved soccer communities in Portland, Vancouver, Tualatin and the surrounding areas.
OUFC is proud to partner with ADF. CEO M-J Tate said, “This partnership fits perfectly into OUFC’s vision of community collaboration. I’ve long admired the work Joaquim has done to put players first - a shared value that will be paramount to this partnership’s success. Both clubs are transformational and not transactional, aiming to provide players a richer developmental path from the basics to competition and showcases for potential collegiate/professional opportunities. That is the key to our future.”
ADF President Joaquim Capuia added, “We’re excited to work with a club that shares our vision, mission, and values, especially the community-minded approach and player focus. Our communities make us who we are. This partnership gives more kids an opportunity to play and develop real soccer skills via recreational or elite-level play—including avenues for those thinking club soccer is out of reach financially. We are excited to bring our coaching and experience to the OUFC community.”
