March 17, 2025

Atlanta, Georgia – March 2025 – Swarm FC is proud to announce the newest addition to its growing network of clubs—FC Sudamerica—which will now be known as Sudamerica Swarm FC (Suda Swarm FC). This groundbreaking partnership marks a new era of opportunity for players, coaches, and staff, as Suda Swarm FC gains direct access to Swarm FC’s professional player pathway, coaching education platform, and affiliation with Brentford FC of the English Premier League.
With this affiliation, Suda Swarm FC players now have a clear route from grassroots to the professional game. Sudamerica Swarm FC players gain access to Swarm FC’s elite player pathway, which includes top competitive platforms such as MLS Next platforms, Girls Academy League (GAL) platforms, NAL, DPL, and NPL. While these leagues are based within the broader Swarm FC network, talented players will haveopportunities to integrate into higher-level teams and the Swarm FC National Team program for enhanced exposure. The USL Academy pathway provides a bridge to professional soccer, offering select players a route into Swarm FC’s future USL teams and international opportunities with Brentford FC.
Simon Davey, Managing Director of Swarm FC, expressed his excitement about the partnership:
“We are thrilled to welcome Sudamerica Swarm FC into the Swarm family. This affiliation strengthens our commitment to providing elite development opportunities for players and coaches. Through our collaboration with Brentford FC, we are creating a direct professional pathway for both male and female players at Suda Swarm FC. We look forward to working together to elevate the club and continue growing the game.”

“We are proud to serve our community and continue to adapt exciting ideas. Becoming part of the Swarm FC family is a milestone for Sudamerica, and the timing is perfect. The Swarm FC gives Sudamerica incredible opportunities for player pathways and development. This platform and new ecosystem of clubs is powerful, forward-thinking, creative, and the just the right innovation needed for youth soccer. Bringing clubs together, developing players together, and growing the game together is the right approach for our soccer community. We are ready for our biggest chapter in the history of Sudamerica.”
This affiliation underscores Swarm FC’s ongoing expansion and dedication to creating an unparalleled soccer ecosystem in the U.S. and beyond. With Sudamerica Swarm FC now integrated into the Swarm FC pathway, the future is brighter than ever for aspiring players looking to make their mark at the highest levels of the game.
