This transformation marks a pivotal step in evolving the club's identity to better reflect our commitment to player development and inclusivity. Ohio Premier Futbol Club (OPFC) is excited to announce its rebranding to Cleveland Football Academy (CFA) in celebration of its 10th anniversary. The rebrand aims to honor the unique differences between boys and girls in the sport. While our teams will we
ar uniforms that share a common design, we will distinguish the color schemes to highlight the individuality of each group, reinforcing that both boys and girls deserve recognition in their own right within the game. Alongside this, CFA seeks to distance itself from traditional American soccer paradigms that often prioritize winning over player growth. We recognize that many American clubs emphasize high costs, multiple teams per age group, and league placements, which can create false promises for parents. Instead, Cleveland Football Academy embraces a European academy model focused on developing skills within an elite training environment, valuing craftsmanship over competition. With our tagline, “Boutique and Elite,” CFA strives to foster an atmosphere that prioritizes individual player development through data and performance plans. We are committed to nurturing young athletes and providing a unique and unparalleled training experience that will help players reach the next level. Cleveland Football Academy invites the community to explore our new website and social channels. Together, we look forward to a bright future of soccer in Cleveland, where development and individual player attention takes center stage.
