The VS1 Football Championship
We are organizing the first flagship major tournament in Los Angeles March to April 2026 ahead of the summer transfer window, allowing free agents to earn, stay sharp and compete for a World Championship worth $150,000.
Free Agent this summer?We’ve got you covered.
We are hosting a series of one-on-one matches for free agents, including goalkeepers, through a tournament in Los Angeles at Universal Studios this November 2025, leading up to the 2026 Championships. This opportunity is open to pro players who remain free agents after the September deadline, allowing them to stay in shape and compete. Travel, hotel, and accommodation expenses will be covered for a 15-day period.
