TREVISO, Italy – OCTOBER 16, 2025 — GameAbove Sports, in partnership with H-FARM Sports Academy — which combines world-class sports training with the high-level education of H-FARM International School — and Mahd Academy, is proud to announce an athletic scholarship program aimed towards developing elite soccer players. Fully funded by GameAbove, the scholarship program reflects its continued commitment to investing in youth development and creating pathways for players to achieve success on both academic and athletic levels.

The first three scholarship recipients – Carlos Zamora, Alonso Lopez, and Artur Umanets – were identified as standout prospects due to their exceptional skill, character, and commitment to the sport. These athletes represent the first group of international players supported by GameAbove to join H-Farm and Mahd Academy. This program not only emphasizes elite training and academic rigor but also promises a thrilling journey of global exposure.

GameAbove, through its broad investment in global sports, has prioritized creating opportunities that bridge grassroots development with professional pathways. Through this scholarship program, the organization ensures that highly talented players have access to world-class coaching, facilities, and education while being immersed in a competitive European soccer environment, which includes regular matches with top European clubs and exposure to different playing styles and strategies.

“This program represents the very best of what GameAbove stands for—creating opportunities through youth development and education. We are proud to see those pillars come to life in partnership with the H-Farm and Mahd Academy,” said Adam Squire, Director of Sport Operations at GameAbove. We intend to open doors for young players to grow on the field while thriving as leaders off it. We’re incredibly proud to support Carlos, Alonso, and Artur, and we look forward to following their journeys.”

The scholarships were made possible through a recommendation from Troy Bingham of the Erie Sports Center, a testament to the crucial role of grassroots development in identifying and nurturing talent. Troy recognized the athletes’ potential and connected them with GameAbove.

“These three athletes exemplify the character, drive, and talent needed to succeed at the highest level. I’m grateful GameAbove is giving them the platform to chase their dreams, and I’m confident they’ll make a big impact at H-Farm and beyond.”
