North Carolina FC Youth (NCFC Youth) is proud to announce GENEFIT Sport as the presenting sponsor of its 2025 visitRaleigh.com Showcase Series, one of the largest youth soccer showcase events in the country.

As part of this exciting partnership, the GENEFIT Sport team will be on-site during all four showcase weekends, engaging with players and families to share how athletes can unlock their performance potential through genetic insights and personalized recommendations.

GENEFIT Sport uses cutting-edge DNA analysis to help athletes better understand their unique physiology—empowering smarter decisions around training, nutrition, recovery, and injury prevention – and laying the foundation for an overall healthier lifestyle.

“We’re thrilled to welcome GENEFIT Sport as our presenting sponsor throughout the visitRaleigh.com Showcase Series,” said Gary Buete, NCFC Youth CEO. “Their innovative approach to performance and wellness aligns perfectly with our mission to help every player reach their potential, both on and off the field. Our tournaments attract some of the best athletes from across the country, and we are excited for them to learn how to tap further into their potential through GENEFIT Sport.”
