Since 2012 Schwaben has partnered with Hamburger Fussball Verband (HFV) in Hamburg, Germany for an International Exchange Program. In July Schwaben sent 19 2009/10 players to Hamburg for a ten day trip where they stayed at the HFV soccer school and participated in games, a tournament, sight-seeing, Family Day and more. It is such a unique opportunity and the players had the time of their lives.
Schwaben AC will host the Hamburger Fußball-Verband (HFV) players from October 15th - 25th. The HFV team consists of the top players from Hamburg including HSV and St.Pauli academies. The players have group practices with Schwaben to prepare for their game against Chicago Fire Academy and the International Tournament, both hosted by Schwaben.
While here the players will enjoy a trip to the German Consulate, Chicago historical walking tour, visit Sears Tower (Willis), tour of Stevenson High School, team dinner at Schwaben, BBQ at Schwaben, shopping, Family Day with Schwaben players and more.
Please join us in helping the HFV players feel welcome at our club!
