FC Cincinnati and FC Porto today announced they will co-host the FC Cincinnati x FC Porto World Camp, an exclusive two-day youth training experience. The camp will be held Friday, October 16 through Saturday, October 17 at the Mercy Health Training Center and is designed for boys and girls ages 6-14. Space is limited for the camp and is first-come, first-serve.
The FC Cincinnati x FC Porto World Camp is an extension of the growing partnership between FC Cincinnati and FC Porto, one of Portugal's most historic and successful clubs. Built on a shared commitment to player development, coaching education and the exchange of best practices, the partnership creates opportunities for collaboration across key areas of both organizations.
"This youth camp is an exciting next step in the partnership between FC Cincinnati and FC Porto," said FC Cincinnati Co-CEO Jeff Berding. "One of the most important benefits of this relationship is the opportunity to create meaningful experiences for young players in our community. By bringing FC Porto's coaches to Cincinnati, we're giving local families access to a truly unique international soccer experience while continuing to strengthen the connection between our two clubs."
Registration is $80 per camper and includes a complimentary camp shirt. Participants will train over two days through professionally-led sessions designed to challenge players, improve technical skills and provide exposure to international coaching standards.
As part of the registration process, early access will be available from September 1-6 for participants in FC Cincinnati's 2026 Summer Camps and Discovery Program. Public registration will open September 7 and remain available until capacity is reached.
“Bringing the FC Porto World Camp to FC Cincinnati players and young people from the local community is an important step in strengthening the relationship between the two clubs,” Ricardo Frey-Ramos, FC Porto Dragon Force Football Academies Director. “Through this initiative, we aim to develop players technical and personal skills, while sharing the values of FC Porto.”
