Ethan’s Road To Real Madrid
Ten-year-old Ethan Urban has a dream—and he’s already chasing it with incredible heart.
A passionate fútbol player and dedicated member of the Chicago Soccer Academy, Ethan has spent countless hours training, growing, and pushing himself to be the best he can be. Playing as a right winger, he has proven to be a dynamic force on the field, recording an impressive 15 goal contributions (goals and assists combined) in just 8 games this past season.
At just 10 years old, he has already competed at a high level, helping his Chicago Soccer Academy team achieve an incredible championship win at the USA Cup in Minnesota—an accomplishment that reflects both his talent and determination.
In the summer of 2025, Ethan took another major step forward by attending the prestigious Real Madrid Foundation Soccer Camp in Chicago, where his skill, discipline, and love for the game truly stood out. Because of his commitment and the values he demonstrated on and off the field, Ethan received an extraordinary invitation: a chance to train in Madrid, Spain at the Real Madrid Foundation Training Clinics.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will allow him to continue developing within one of the most respected soccer organizations in the world, training at the official Real Madrid Sports Complex under their renowned methodology. Beyond soccer, this experience will help shape Ethan’s character, broaden his perspective, and deepen his understanding of teamwork and global culture.
Off the field, Ethan is just as impressive. He is an honor roll student, an avid reader, and someone who proudly shares his faith, always striving to spread the word of God through his actions and kindness toward others.
We are raising funds to help make Ethan’s dream a reality. Contributions will go toward his travel expenses, including airfare, transportation, meals, accommodations, and training costs during his time in Spain.
Ethan’s journey is just beginning, and with your support, he can take this incredible next step. Every donation—big or small—brings him closer to stepping onto the fields of Madrid and continuing to pursue his passion.
Thank you for believing in Ethan and being part of his journey!
