Global Sports Experiences is proud to welcome Rush Soccer as its newest official Alliance Partner, bringing together two globally connected organizations to expand international opportunities for players, teams, coaches, families, and supporters across the Rush network.

With more than 60,000 players across 175 clubs in 50 countries, Rush Soccer represents one of the largest youth soccer organizations in the world. Through the GSE Alliance, Rush members will gain access to professionally managed international experiences built around elite competition, team travel, major global soccer events, coaching development, and cultural immersion.

A Global Partnership Built Around the Game

The GSE Alliance model is designed to make international programming a sustainable part of an organization’s long-term strategy rather than a one-time travel experience.

Through the partnership, Rush teams and members will have access to GSE experiences across destinations including Spain, Italy, England, Brazil, Morocco, Northern Ireland, and beyond.

Programs can be customized around each team’s objectives, level of play, and destination, creating opportunities to compete against international opposition, experience different soccer cultures and environments, attend major global events, and explore destinations together as a team and community.

Rush Soccer will also benefit from the wider GSE Alliance infrastructure, including dedicated planning and operational support, international tournament access, coaching and development opportunities, marketing collaboration, and connections across GSE’s growing network of partner organizations.

Creating Opportunities for Players, Coaches, and Families

For players, international competition provides an opportunity to experience new styles of play, tactical approaches, and environments while developing both on and off the field.

For coaches and club leaders, the partnership creates opportunities for professional exchange, international exposure, and programming that can complement their existing player and club development pathways.

For families and supporters, GSE experiences extend beyond the field, combining soccer with carefully planned cultural and travel experiences that allow the wider club community to experience the game together.

Leadership Perspective

Tommaso Trevisan, COO of Global Sports Experiences, said:

“These experiences provide a valuable addition to player development. By competing and traveling in unfamiliar environments, players are challenged to adapt, communicate, and engage with diverse approaches to the game, while families and teammates get to share in this truly unique experience together.”

Justin Miller, CEO of Rush Soccer, added:

“We’re incredibly excited to partner with Global Sports Experiences. GSE is one of the best at creating unforgettable experiences for players and families, and we’re thrilled to bring those opportunities to Rush families.”

First Experience: 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil

The partnership will come to life for the first time in summer 2027, when Rush families have the opportunity to travel to Brazil with GSE for the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

The experience will combine access to Women’s World Cup matches with curated activities in Rio de Janeiro, giving participants the opportunity to experience the highest level of the women’s game while discovering one of the world’s most iconic soccer cultures.

The Brazil experience will mark the beginning of a wider range of international opportunities available to the Rush community through the GSE Alliance.
