The SIMA Friendlies is a soccer showcase event that will be held from January 18-21, 2024, at the Montverde Academy campus in Florida. The third edition of the SIMA Friendlies promises to keep growing as its level and excitement surrounding it has grown each year. The interest in the event from college coaches and participants alike has steadily improved and the Friendlies has gradually become a marquee event in the recruiting cycle. The addition of SIMA 10 Year SIMA Celebration and the alumni weekend has integrated the Montverde Academy community for what will be a very special event.

College and university programs from across the country will be assisting the event, which will feature games between SIMA student-athletes and guest teams from DME, 2SV, Ribeiro Moojen, Tampa Bay United, Vaughan SC, Cincinnati United Premier and Marlex International. Video of the games will be available to review at www.mvasima.com/simafriendlies.
