MONTENEGRO 2008
The Destination:
In 2008 ISSFC took 16 aspiring soccer players and toured the beautiful country of
Montenegro for an opportunity of a lifetime. The team was made up of former and current college soccer players, soccer players that had the skills but were undiscovered, and soccer players that were looking for that right connection to put them in front of a European club.
Where is Montenegro? Montenegro is located south of Croatia and across from Italy. Montenegro is bidding to be in the European Union and rightfully so - they are a small country with vast beauty and a great history.
