Welcome to NXTLVL Footballer, the ultimate resource for families navigating the journey of moving to Europe for elite football development. We’re a family of four—Michael, Elise, Ethan, and Carson—plus our dog, who made the life-changing decision to relocate from Vancouver, Canada, to Estoril, Portugal (and London for work) to give Carson the best possible chance to pursue his football dreams.

Through our own experience, we quickly realized how complex, overwhelming, and challenging this process can be. From visas and FIFA regulations to choosing the right academy, financial planning, and adjusting to a new culture—there was no clear roadmap to follow. That’s why we created NXTLVL Footballer—to provide families like yours with honest, practical, and actionable insights on what it truly takes to make this dream a reality.

Our platform offers expert guidance, real-life experiences, and exclusive content to help young footballers and their families confidently navigate the transition to Europe. Whether you're looking for step-by-step guides, professional advice, or a supportive community, NXTLVL Footballer is here to empower you every step of the way.

We’ve lived it. Now, we’re sharing it—so your family can take the next step with clarity and confidence.
