Pittsburgh Independence FC
Formerly BVB International Academy Pittsburgh, we are rooted in the heart of the Steel City. We are committed to building strong, skilled, and confident players through a culture of relentless development, passion for the game, and competitive excellence. Our mission is to empower every athlete to rise with independence — on and off the pitch.
Where Passion Meets Progress.
We are proud to announce that we are now Pittsburgh Independence FC. As one of the premier clubs in Pittsburgh, we represent one of the greatest systems of player development and player pathways in the world. We are deeply honored and carry tremendous responsibility to train, communicate, and educate our players and families.
Through parallel training strategies, our players will learn, grow, and develop on and off the field with character, quality, and the determination to be all that they can be.
Our goal is to:
- touch the lives of our players through inspiration on and off the field,
- to challenge them with the qualities of leadership, honor, tenacity, respect, and a real love for the game itself.
- to strive through strength of character, heart, words and actions to help young players rise to their true potential and exceed their own expectations, thereby paving their ability to succeed for whatever challenges and opportunities lie ahead.
We focus on bringing the intense football experience including:
- Intensity
- Authenticity
- Winning Attitude
- Hard work and determination
- And a real love of the game, the team, our family and the club
We ask one thing from our players- to always give their best effort. And in return they can expect the best from their club. We pledge to create the very best training environment, system and player pathway for every player.
