Allan Costa - Founder & Head Trainer of Silva Fútbol
Allan Costa, founder of Silva Fútbol, brings a unique Brazilian perspective to player development. Born and raised in Brazil, where soccer is deeply rooted in everyday life, he developed his game through street soccer and futsal—environments that emphasize creativity, technical skill, and confidence. He began playing futsal at a young age before transitioning to outdoor academies in Rio de Janeiro.
His journey led him to the United States, where he played college soccer at Camden County College and West Virginia University Institute of Technology, earning multiple honors, including All-Conference team, All-National team and Defensive Player of the Year. He also competed at the semi-professional level (USL League 2) with Ocean City Nor'easters.
Following his playing career, Allan transitioned into coaching, driven by a passion to develop the next generation. He holds a USSF D License and working on his UEFA C License, along with futsal certifications, and has coached at both the youth and college levels.
Allan also serves as Technical Director at Pro Skills Futsal, working with hundreds of players across NJ, PA, and DE. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from WVU Tech and a Master’s in Sports Management from Wilmington University.
At Silva Fútbol, Allan blends Brazilian soccer culture with modern training methods to develop creative, confident, and complete players.
