The officials of FC Barcelona have lunched FCBEscola Soccer Academy in
Lagos state, Nigeria.
The academy
officially opened in the presence of FC Barcelona Director, Pau Vilanova and
the Project Director of the FCBEscola, Franc Carbó.
The school which has
been active since September 2016, is expected to enroll boys and girls between
the ages 6 and 18.
It is the first of
its kind in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa and would provide opportunities for
potential footballers from all over the country as well as other parts of
Africa, to receive first class training.
They would also
receive training in English, Spanish, French and other Modern European
languages, as well as General and Applied Mathematics, Humanities and Social
Sciences, Creative, Technical and Vocational studies.
FCBEscola Lagos is
modelled on FC Barcelona’s own youth system and students will be taught by the
club’s coaches using its football methodology.
