Founded in 2012 by Coach Tati Errecalde and Lia LoChirco, XPLORE Soccer was created from a shared passion for the game and a belief in the power of travel to transform young athletes.
With deep roots in both soccer and global cultural appreciation, our founders personally accompany every tour—ensuring each player is immersed, supported, and inspired.
For over a decade, we’ve been delivering seamless, meaningful team travel experiences, with a focus on Spain, where international competition meets true exploration.
At XPLORE Soccer, our mission is to inspire and elevate young athletes through international soccer experiences that blend high-level competition, personal growth, and cultural exploration.
We believe that everyone should experience soccer in a global setting—after all, it’s the world’s most popular sport. But why is that? Let’s find out—by stepping into new fields, meeting new people, and discovering the beauty of the game across borders.
XPLORE trips go far beyond soccer. They’re about building character, expanding horizons, and creating moments that last a lifetime.
Fernando “Tati” Errecalde’s professional career has evolved from his early years in his hometown of Tandil, Argentina to today as an accomplished and successful soccer coach. His international experience paved the way for his move to the United States. Coach Tati’s talent was discovered at a young age. At the age of 14, he and his family were offered training and education in Buenos Aires. He played professionally there for the first time, at Club Independiente.
The highlights of Coach Tati’s professional career include earning a position for the 1994 indoor World Cup, on the Argentinian indoor national team, where he played alongside Diego Maradona. Passion for the game of soccer brought him to the United States, where he furthered his career while playing professionally for the Wichita Wings, Toronto Shooting Stars, Detroit Rockers, St Louis Streamers and Windsor Border Stars.
Coach Tati has been coaching for over 22 years, his passion for the game is as evident when he coaches as when he plays. His training style makes him an outstanding technical and strategical coach.
The idea of Fútskills Academy as a company started 10 years ago. It has been a partnership that simply began from a passion for soccer.
Coach Tati Errecalde’s knowledge for soccer in all its forms led the way forward while I, Lia LoChirco, contributed what I knew of business, marketing and the desire of watching players develop in a healthy environment. The goal for us was simple: supply the BEST tools to players… and with that Fútskills Academy was born!
Even after 10 years, we love seeing players wearing an iconic XPLORE or Fútskills t-shirt in public. That feeling will never go away!
Sometimes it’s a passion that pushes you forward, that’s the story behind Fútskills Academy.
