The Allstate Sueño Alianza National Showcase, the event that marks the culmination of our 2024 tryouts program, has announced its new location. The area of Tampa Bay, an important port on Florida's west coast, will be the stage where the top 64 young talents aim to impress to impress the most distinguished scouts from clubs from La Liga MX, MLS and national teams.

The Final Roster for this Showcase will be revealed on national TV on TUDN in late September. The exact date will be announced.

The prestigious IMG Academy, located in Bradenton, Florida, will host these promising young players from October 27-31, where they will participate in various matches and evaluations in hopes of securing their first professional opportunity.

The change in venue for the National Showcase is part of our ongoing effort to improve the event. For this edition, we have selected one of the most important sports complexes in the United States. This decision reflects our commitment to elevating the event's competitive and developmental levels.

IMG Academy is a multidisciplinary complex renowned for hosting the U-16 and U-17 U.S. national teams and for organizing summer camps that allow young soccer players to develop their skills under the guidance of experienced coaches.

This sports and educational center has also been a training ground for numerous players who have reached Major League Soccer (MLS) and NCAA Division I soccer, welcoming young prospects aged 10 to 18 in highly personalized programs.

Among the footballers who have passed through IMG Academy's facilities are notable figures such as Landon Donovan, who later signed with Bayer Leverkusen; Gabriel Farfán, a former player for Philadelphia Union and Chivas USA; Eriq Zavaleta, currently with L.A. Galaxy; Michael Bradley; Michelle Cooper, a player for KC Current in the NWSL; Damarcus Beasley; and Eric Ávila, among others.

The event in Tampa promises to celebrate soccer, particularly in a context where Inter Miami of the MLS has revitalized soccer passion in the region. This club boasts historic players such as Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, Luis Suárez, and Lionel Messi —considered by many to be the most significant active footballer— as well as Gerardo Martino, former coach of the Mexican National Team.

During their stay at IMG Academy, the young players will be welcomed with a diverse program that combines sports activities with exposure sessions to scouts from Liga MX, Liga MX Femenil, MLS, USL, and various international federations.

The National Showcase will culminate with the traditional "scarf ceremony," during which the clubs will officially announce which players will be invited to participate in their trials, marking the beginning of their potential professional careers.

Notable talents such as Amalia Lopez (Chivas), Santiago Muñoz (Santos Laguna), Yaneisi Rodriguez (Pumas),  Mauricio Isaís (Toluca), Jonathan González (FC Juárez), and Nico Carrera (Toluca) have participated in the National Showcase, highlighting its importance in discovering and promoting young talents.

Tampa, see you soon!
