Founded in 2023, Ludius Student-Athletes emerged from the shared passion and friendship of two young boys from Cyprus. Physically present in multiple countries, and online, the agency aims to assist aspiring student-athletes in securing athletic scholarships that reflect their true potential.
Back in 2010, two young boys from Cyprus competed and won the Madrid Cup in Spain. Little did they know that this shared passion for the beautiful game would spark a lifelong friendship and ignite a journey leading them to find Ludius Student-Athletes in 2024.
The idea of founding Ludius Student-Athletes was sparked by a conversation between long-time friends, pondering the next steps of their career paths. We realized that our own experiences in collegiate soccer, in all three NCAA divisions, have shaped our understanding of the student-athlete journey in unique aspects. Thus, we embarked on a mission to bring our vision to life: a consultancy agency aiming to assist aspiring student-athletes by securing scholarships that reflect their profileโs true value.
We’ve dedicated ourselves to crafting a platform ensuring every student-athlete who reaches out to us receives the support they deserve to excel academically and athletically. Ludius SA is more than just a business venture; it’s a testament to our commitment to excellence.
