OUR FOUNDERS

Fernando “TATI” Errecalde

XPLORE Soccer began long before the company had a name—back in 2012, when Coach Tati led a group of youth players overseas for what would become the very first international soccer experience of its kind. His original intention wasn’t to build a business. It was simple and pure: he wanted his players to feel what he once felt—the magnitude of soccer on the global stage.

The team trusted him, followed his vision, and boarded that plane. What happened over those unforgettable days—playing against international teams, feeling the passion of global fútbol culture—was transformative. The players still talk about that trip to this day. It wasn’t just soccer. It was identity, belonging, inspiration.

For Tati, this wasn’t a one-time adventure. It was proof of what he had always known:
Soccer becomes something far deeper when you experience it beyond your own borders.

Lia LoChirco

Over a decade ago, I had the opportunity to travel internationally with a youth soccer team—an experience that changed everything. At first, it was simply an adventure, a chance to see what soccer looked like outside our bubble. But what I witnessed was far more powerful than a tournament abroad. I watched young players step into stadiums and onto fields where the game felt bigger, louder, and filled with possibility. They weren’t just playing soccer—they were growing, transforming, and seeing the world through a wider lens.

That trip planted a seed.

I realized that these opportunities shouldn’t be limited to a select few. More players deserved the chance to experience soccer on the world stage—to feel the energy of international play, to connect with different cultures, and to discover the beauty of the game beyond borders. What started as a one-off idea became a vision, and that vision grew into what is now XPLORE Soccer.
