OUR STORY

OUR STORY

Every academy starts somewhere and we’re building ours with heart, hard work, and the belief that every child can become exceptional with the right guidance..

ALMO FC was founded by Hugo Aleixo and Dorival “SP” Sporrohn — two coaches from opposite sides of the world, united by one vision: to bring a new, creative, and inspiring way of coaching to New York City.

Hugo, from Brazil, and SP, from Angola, both grew up in cultures where soccer is more than a game — it’s a way of life. After years of coaching, playing, and building programs across New York, they decided to combine their experience, passion, and philosophy to create ALMO FC: a project designed to offer players a unique training experience built on discipline, joy, and innovation.

At ALMO FC, every session has purpose. We don’t just teach players to play — we teach them to think, to create, and to express who they are through the game. Our goal is to give every player the opportunity to grow in a professional environment, powered by technology, modern methodology, and a deep love for the sport.

Born from culture. Built on passion. Designed for the future.
That’s ALMO FC.
