Keystone Sports x Capelli Sport

Capelli Sport and Keystone Sports are pleased to announce their collaboration for the upcoming recruiting period.

Keystone Sports, Europe’s leading agency for sports scholarships at North American colleges, will be actively supported by Capelli Sport at upcoming soccer events. The first highlight of this partnership will be the College Soccer Showcase in Ratingen at the beginning of December. Over two days, players will be evaluated in several matches by scouts and coaches from US colleges and assessed for scholarship eligibility.

The international sporting goods manufacturer from the USA will not only supply the match and training uniforms for these events, but will also assist with the organization and implementation of the events. The experienced coaches from Capelli Sport soccer camps will support the local team in the implementation.

The aim of the cooperation is to create the best possible conditions for young athletes at these events so that they can convince the scouts and recruiters in attendance of their talent.

Janis Deeken, Director Events Europe, Capelli Sport:

“Capelli Sport has its origins in New York – and we live up to this international standard in Europe as well. From the very beginning, it has been our shared ambition to have more than just a traditional supplier relationship with Keystone Sports. With the College Soccer Showcase, we are now sending a clear signal: we are bringing our expertise and our strong network in American youth soccer to bear and combining it with innovative eventization in Europe. This creates an event format that emotionally charges brands, opens up opportunities for young athletes, and clearly differentiates us from the competition. That’s why I’m all the more pleased to accompany and consistently develop this partnership not only on the product side, but also at the event level.”

Stefan Krämer, Head of Events, Keystone Sports Germany:

“With the strategic event partnership with Capelli Sport, we are consistently developing our events, which have been established for over 15 years, and setting new standards. Together, we are promoting the unparalleled opportunity to combine athletic prospects with academic careers at universities in the US and Canada. Our events offer a unique platform where young talents can showcase their skills and network and exchange ideas with like-minded people.

The collaboration with Capelli Sport underscores our shared vision of promoting young athletes beyond national borders and opening up sustainable athletic, personal, and academic development opportunities.”
