Participants will have the opportunity to register and train with Spanish League sides, gaining invaluable match experience and competing at a high level in Spain.
Educational Component: Complementing the athletic training, the program also offers a robust education plan, including daily Spanish lessons and several academic pathways:

American High School Studies: Facilitating a comprehensive educational experience. Location and Facilities: The Mas Camarena Students’ Resort & Sports Centre, renowned for its excellent facilities, will host this prestigious Fulham Academy initiative. This venue is perfectly equipped to support the holistic development of future professional players.
Fulham FC’s Commitment: Huw Jennings, Academy Director at Fulham FC, expressed enthusiasm about this venture, noting it as an exciting development to identify and nurture talent in Spain and beyond. The program not only aims to refine players’ skills but also to integrate them into Fulham’s scouting network for potential professional opportunities.
