Town and Country Soccer Renews Everton International Affiliate Partnership

Everton Football Club is proud to announce the renewal of its partnership with Town and Country Soccer as part of the Everton International Affiliate Programme (EIAP).

The renewed agreement will see the Texas-based club continue its affiliation for another year, deepening a relationship rooted in shared values around youth development, coaching excellence and community engagement.

Town and Country Soccer first joined the EIAP in 2024 and has since embraced Everton’s International Academy coaching philosophy, integrating high-level technical and tactical development into its programming for young players across the region.

With this renewal, Town and Country Soccer reaffirms their commitment to developing players on and off the pitch, supported by Everton’s world-class training resources and staff mentorship.

Richard Swain, Director of Soccer at Town and Country Soccer, said: "We’re thrilled to continue our journey with Everton. The partnership has elevated our coaching standards and given our players unique developmental opportunities that wouldn’t be possible otherwise."

As a continuing member of the International Affiliate Programme, Town and Country Soccer will maintain access to bespoke support from Everton International Academy coaches through a mix of in-person visits, virtual coaching, and curriculum guidance. The extended partnership will also enable enhanced opportunities for player development, talent identification, and cultural exchange initiatives with the Club’s global network.

Mark Thompson, Everton International Academy's Head of Technical Coaching, said: "Town and Country has been a fantastic partner in our International Affiliate Programme, and we’re excited to see what we can achieve together in the coming year."

This renewal reflects Everton’s ongoing commitment to growing the game globally and creating meaningful partnerships that inspire, educate and empower the next generation of footballers and coaches.
