The History
The company eSoccer was born in 2002 by founder German Arguelles. At around the same time, Billy Hartman founded the International School of Soccer (ISOS). ISOS went on to partner with adidas and was renamed the Adidas International Training Program (AITP) and eventually the two companies (AITP & eSoccer) would merge. AITP would take care of all the international soccer tours, taking adidas teamwear partners to adidas sponsored clubs, while eSoccer would facilitate international tours to all other clubs around the world.</p
AITP later rebranded at generation adidas international and the two companies went on to be acquired in 2021 by the Portman Travel Group, a group of companies which included inspiresport. eSoccer was then rebranded to inspiresport and is now the North American branch of the company.
