The RESIDENTIAL ACADEMY was established by Genova International School of Soccer in August 2009 in Zanè (Vicenza), Northern Italy. The program is an exclusive operation that has been designed to cater to promising young footballers wanting a career pathway. Players are chosen from GISS academies worldwide and trials via the I.D camps. Now GISS has one permanents academies in Ovada.
For the duration of the program the players are given a chance of a lifetime: to be able to live their dreams, living the life of a professional European footballer, living and breathing football everyday at the highest level possible. GISS in Italy has seen many players come through our program that have gone on to become professional players.
The academy has helped players to develop thier skills and to help them acclimatize to the conditions and level of European football. GISS has not only placed players to pro clubs in Italy but also to other football nations such as United Kingdom, Hungary, Spain, Greece, Romania, Switzerland, Singapore and Turkey.
