International Programs

Founded in 1904, Botafogo is one of the world’s most iconic professional soccer clubs. With over a century of tradition, the club has earned a strong reputation for featuring some of the most legendary Brazilian players, such as Garrincha, Didi, Jairzinho and Nilton Santos.

Now entering its most successful era following the purchase by John Textor in 2022, Botafogo currently holds both Brazilian and South American titles, and is set to participate in FIFA’s Club World Cup 2025, which will be held between June and July in the US.

During the tournament, Botafogo will host official youth training camps in the US with some of its most prestigious youth academy coaches from Brazil.

Through its new and innovative international program, Botafogo offers foreign players an exclusive opportunity to learn the methodology of the unique Brazilian soccer style.
