CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Soccer in Buenos Aires

Build your game in the home of soccer legends like Messi and Maradona, where passion meets performance.

In Argentina, soccer is not just a sport; it’s a national identity. Buenos Aires is the perfect place to explore the mental side of performance, where more than 70 soccer clubs and countless neighborhood pitches reflect a culture that lives and breathes the game. Alongside fellow Global Navigators, you’ll practice daily and investigate what it takes to perform at your best on and off the field.

Explore the science behind athletic success, learning techniques to manage stress and anxiety, understand optimal performance zones, and set goals. Through daily time on the pitch with local peers and Global Navigators, you’ll explore teamwork, leadership, ethics, and resilience, discovering how the same strategies that help athletes compete can help you navigate challenges beyond sports.

Step beyond the classroom to experience the vibrant city of Buenos Aires. Visit the colorful neighborhood of La Boca and stroll through its famous open-air museum. Tour the legendary La Bombonera stadium, home of Boca Juniors. Then, connect with local students during a hands-on tango workshop. Your summer will leave you with unforgettable memories, new skills, and dreams for your future.
