Spanish Pro Football Academy is excited to announce the addition of two promising Swiss footballers, Mourad Chagna and Valir Miftari, marking a significant expansion in our diverse roster of international talents. Originating from a country known for its precision and quality, these players bring the same attributes to the football field.


Switzerland, nestled among some of Europe’s premier football leagues, continues to be a breeding ground for football talent. This week, we welcomed Mourad and Valir to our academy in Valencia, Spain — the first Swiss players to join Spanish Pro Football Academy.


Mourad Chagna - A Blend of Talent and Tactical Acumen: Mourad, born in 2001 in Geneva with French-Swiss heritage, began his football journey at FC Veyrier Sports. Known for his sharp playing style as a midfielder and right winger, Mourad exhibits a rare combination of game precision and deep tactical understanding. His objective at SPF Academy is to elevate his skills to meet the Spanish football standards and to begin playing within the Spanish league system alongside our partnered local clubs.


Valir Miftari - Young Talent on the Rise: At just 15 years old, Valir, with his Kosovar heritage, represents the youthful spirit of our academy. Starting his career at FC Meyrin in Switzerland, Valir has shown exceptional performance on the field, which spurred his decision to move to Spain and advance his football career. As a member of our cadet group, Valir is poised to develop his skills further under the guidance of our experienced UEFA coaches.


Inspired by Valir and Mourad’s steps toward professional football? SPF Academy is your gateway to elevating your football career in Spain.
