The New York Cosmos is committed to helping improve the future
of football with significant investment in grassroots and youth football, and providing elite coaching philosophies and training opportunities. The New York Cosmos has already launched two elite youth academies, Cosmos Academy

Soccer stars Giovanni Savarese and Teddy Chronopoulos appointed as Academy Directors,
respectively. Both academies participate in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy.
Furthermore, The New York Cosmos has acquired the Copa NYC tournament, and beyond
running it every year in New York, they will be looking to expand it both domestically and internationally in order to engage more local communities to participate in the ‘global game’ at a grassroots level.
