NEFC RISE Global, formerly Team NEFC, is an exciting program, launched in 2026 for NEFC and its Partner Clubs. These teams will be composed of individual players selected from across all NEFC regions and Partner Clubs who have expressed interest in participating in a European tournament in the summer of 2027.
The directors and coaching staff will choose the players for the teams that are formed to play at a select level. Teams will train together twice prior to leaving on the Tour.
For Summer 2027, boys and girls select teams in the U13 & U14 age groups will represent NEFC RISE Global at the Helsinki Cup in Finland, with extra days spent in Tallinn, Estonia! We had a very successful experience here in 2026. The boys' and girls' selected teams in the U15 to U19 age groups will represent NEFC RISE Global at the Costa Daurada Cup in Spain.
U13 & U14 Boys & Girls
As we continue to create meaningful opportunities for our players to grow through the game, we are excited to offer NEFC families the opportunity to travel to Finland and compete in the Helsinki Cup. A team led by Coach Casey King traveled in 2026, and it was an unforgettable experience. This event combines high-level international competition with memorable travel experiences and cultural immersion. NEFC RISE Global will be organizing U13 and U14 boys and girls teams for travel.
