Step away without stepping back.
Long-term injury can take a player away from the game for months. DFLD gives professional footballers the opportunity to spend part of that journey in the USA, combining first-class facilities, warm-weather training, premium accommodation and a fully managed lifestyle experience.
DFLD does not provide medical or rehabilitation services. The player remains under the care of their existing club, medical and performance teams. We create the environment around them.
Florida sunshine. Elite facilities. A private, positive routine. The detail is managed, so the player and their team can focus on the recovery journey.
