Welcome to the New England Champions League Tournament, your premier destination for grassroots soccer in the New England area. Founded by Alessandro Villella (Florence, Italy) and Christian Pasciak (Chicago, Illinois), passionate coaches and fans of the beautiful game, our tournament is dedicated to providing a comprehensive and immersive experience for New England’s newest generation of grassroots players.

Alessandro and Christian met in 2022 while coaching for the Brookline Soccer Club and their passion for soccer transformed into a friendship and partnership.

Alessandro moved from Florence, Italy in 2022. While he is a pharmacist by education and currently works in genetics full-time, he has been coaching soccer for over 15 years now. He is excited about bringing his deep expertise and experience coaching in Italy to the US!

Christian is a practicing lawyer who is very excited about soccer and has gained extensive knowledge of the game and the coaching perspective in recent years!

The two of us are more than excited to unite our expertise and create a new type of tournament to the New England soccer landscape! We hope you will join us.
