It was a pleasure for Sports Experience to organize another trip to Europe. This time it was on behalf of Legião FC Soccer Academy / BNT.

In order to internationalize the academy’s brand, provide experience abroad to its athletes and seek new partnerships; Sports Experience promoted the participation of the under-19 team in the International Tournament of Saint Joseph in France.
