In order to deliver the high standards referenced above, VSI is actively pursuing the following in the Greater Tampa Region: (i) the development of a 20 plus playing field complex, to include a mini stadium (4,000 seats) and residential academy (ii) the development of a purpose built soccer stadium (28,888 seats) in central Tampa (iii) including within (i) & (ii) would be a number of leading sports medical facilities with the intention of making Tampa the world centre of sports injury treatment / therapy and at the same time provide inward investment, jobs and benefit to the area.

In providing the outlined facilities, Tampa will be firmly on the international soccer map for leading clubs worldwide keen to visit the US and who look first at the facilities their players are able to use and play in, either for tournaments, showcase games or training breaks. This business + associated consumer spend currently by-passes the area due to lack of quality soccer facilities.
