The foundation of this academy traces back to France, where a group of childhood friends bonded over their shared passion for soccer. Growing up together, they played, trained, and supported each other like brothers. Among them, one player stood out—Faly Basse.
At just 13 years old, Faly was scouted and given the opportunity to train at the Youth National level for France. His dedication and talent quickly set him apart. By 15, he had become a semi-professional athlete, earning a spot on France’s top team. At 17, he reached a remarkable milestone—being selected for the French National Team and competing at the highest levels across Europe.
At 21, Faly’s promising career took an unexpected turn when a significant injury sidelined him for eight months. As he recovered, he began to reflect on his future. While his passion for the game remained, his aspirations shifted beyond playing at the national level.
Determined to continue his journey in soccer, Faly played professionally in Germany and England. It was during his time in England that his childhood friends reunited with him, and together, they began to envision something bigger—a soccer academy built on their lifelong love for the game.
That vision became a reality. Today, Altitude FC stands as a testament to their dedication, helping young players develop their skills, discipline, and love for the sport. Faly’s journey from a young talent in France to a mentor shaping the next generation reflects the very heart of the academy—passion, perseverance, and the pursuit of excellence.
