⚡️PLAYER SPOTLIGHT: CHRIS BANOS⚡️
🎓Class of 2029
⚽️Position: Midfielder

Chris has the third highest overall score of our Pro Combine Series ⭐️

Chris currently plays at @realfa_nj , and is off to a flying star after an a big 25/26 season. Last year he had 30+ goal contributions as a midfielder and was named Top XI MLS Next players to watch. 👀

Another player who came up through the @eddie_johnson7 experience - and it shows with his elite technical ability and fearlessness under pressure. 🪄

Chris is grew up a multi sport athlete and his development has exponentially accelerated over the past few years. He has an incredible work ethic and a desire to improve every part of his game - Big shoutout to his family and everyone who helped him along the way. 🙏

Chris is on the rise 🚀

Chris sees the game a step ahead and is always available to receive the ball and find the pass that breaks the lines. He controls the tempo, comfortable carrying the ball through pressure or releasing it early to keep the attack moving. His range of passing lets him dictate play from deep or combine in tight spaces up top while always looking to be a goal threat.

Chris had the second highest technical score of all the players we have tested but is not afraid to get stuck in. He is a tireless worker and always looking to help the team win in whatever way necessary.

He can play anywhere in the midfield depending on the game model and his delivery on standard situations is a major asset.

Watch him cook 👀🪄💫

We are excited to have Chris Banos leading our Summer 2026 Futsal Clinics full-time this summer!

Chris was MVP of the Copa Talento Futsal Tournament and has earned recognition at the highest levels of youth futsal as a member of the U.S. Youth Futsal National Team, along with Regional and National Futsal Teams.

Chris competes in the top youth soccer league in the US, MLS NEXT with Real Futbol Academy and has been with Real since Spring 2022.

Chris recently was recognized by MLS Next as 1 of 11 players to watch across all ages and helped his team compete for a National Championship at MLS Next Cup in Utah last week where they made top 16. Prior to Real, he was with Inter Miami CF Academy when he lived in Florida and Futboltech. His journey is a great example of how futsal can positively impact a player’s long-term development.

Futsal has played a tremendous role in Chris’ growth as a player by improving his technical ability, quick decision-making, creativity, foot skills, movement in tight spaces, and overall confidence on the ball. The fast-paced nature of futsal forces players to think quickly, develop composure under pressure, and become more complete soccer players.

Chris is passionate about helping young athletes develop both on and off the court, and we are excited for our players to learn from someone who has experienced firsthand how valuable futsal can be in a player’s pathway and development.
