Chad Damons

Help Chad Damons Get to Villarreal CF — Spain 2026 My name is Chad Damons. I am a 21-year-old left winger from Cape Town, South Africa, currently working in the United States. I have been playing football my whole life. At 8 years old, I was already playing first-team football at school level and A team club football. That same year, I received a trial invitation from Old Mutual FC, a club competing in the SAFA Second Division. At 12, I traveled to England and trained at Hull City FC, where I won a tournament on the final day and made an impression on the coaching staff. At 20, I trialed for Webber International University in Florida, scored during the trial, and received an offer — but the $20,000 cost made it impossible to accept. I have faced financial barriers at every stage of my career. Not a lack of ability. Not a lack of effort. In May 2026, I applied to the Villarreal CF Player Development Program — a professional 10-month elite football program based in Vila-real, Spain, run by a LaLiga club using their full academy methodology. Villarreal CF responded, reviewed my application, called me, and have now confirmed my registration for September 2026. The total cost of the program is $44,000, structured across three payments: — $8,800 deposit — due now to secure my place — $17,600 — due September 2026 — $17,600 — due January 2027 My immediate goal is to raise $8,800 to lock in my registration. Every dollar contributed gets me one step closer to where I belong. This is not a dream anymore. This is confirmed. Villarreal CF is waiting for me — I just need to get there.
