The Story of Total Futbol Academy 


2009: Built on a Bold Vision 
In 2009, two Cincinnati soccer programs — Cincinnati Futbol Academy and Westside Soccer Club — came together to form
Tri-State Futbol Alliance. What started as a collaboration quickly became a movement: a single club with one goal — to put player development first. 
We made history as the first club in Cincinnati to offer year-round training, giving players more opportunities to learn, grow, and chase their dreams. 


2015: A New Name, A Bigger Mission 
As we grew, so did our ambition. In 2015, we adopted a new name —
Total Futbol Academy — inspired by the Dutch philosophy of "Total Football," where players are developed completely: technically, tactically, physically, and mentally. 
Our crest’s crown ties us to our home, the Queen City, and reminds every player that with hard work and the right support, greatness is within reach. 


2024: A Clear Purpose for the Future 
In 2024, we redefined our focus through a club-wide strategic planning process. Out of it came our new
Purpose Statement — a fresh expression of who we are and why we exist: 


Total Futbol Academy (TFA) exists to provide a comprehensive soccer (futbol) experience that fosters community, teamwork, competition, and continuous improvement — benefiting players and families on and off the field. 


Our purpose is bigger than soccer. It's about building better players, better teammates, and better people. 


Where We’re Going 
Today, Total Futbol Academy is more than a club — it’s a community. 


We believe the real win isn’t just on the scoreboard — it’s in the process: showing up, working hard, supporting each other, and getting better every day. 


We’re here to develop capable, confident players ready for success — on the field, in school, in life. 

 
And we’re just getting started.
