PACIFIC RIM CUP
The Pacific Rim region is where people call“The Last Market” in soccer. This region is where upcoming new leagues like J.League and Major League Soccer are flourishing. In 2018, we have successfully launched the “Pacific Rim Cup”, where professional soccer clubs from Japan, North America, and others from this region get together annually at Aloha Stadium in Hawaii, which is the center of this region. This is not only a soccer tournament but a week-long event full of activities such as a free soccer clinic where 300 kids participate and fills up in 20 minutes, U23 Hawaii All Star Game, VIP Party where more than 150 people gather, and a lot more. The event generates a local economic impact of $2M and we are proud to continue to build this property.

BLUE UNITED ATHLETICS
We provide consulting and support to selected student athletes to study abroad. Going abroad or becoming a professional athlete is not necessarily the answer to everything. However, being an elite athlete is blessed as being able to speak another language, and if that gives you the chance to broaden your view abroad, that is fantastic. All of our staff have been lucky enough to go abroad because of sports. However, this requires quality support and the student needs to be mature. Therefore, we cannot be a study abroad agency that puts profit and our interest first, and this is why we limit the number of students we decide to help and make sure we provide the best and full attention to the selected athletes.
