THE TRAINING PROGRAM FROM REAL MADRID

The Real Madrid Foundation, part of the Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid C.F., and Dreams Foundation bring the coaches, experience and system from La Cantera at Valdebebas, Spain to Hong Kong. La Cantera is the academy program for the biggest club in Europe, Real Madrid FC, where some of the greatest past and current all-time players were developed, called “Canteranos”. Many current and past players all received their training and development through the Real Madrid Youth Academy to become some of the biggest stars in the game. Real Madrid has had some of the biggest name players, superstars who are World Cup winners, Euro and UEFA Cup winners, Supercopa winners at Real Madrid or those who went on to play at many other professional clubs, who were all developed at the Real Madrid Youth Academy and Youth Teams.

Also not to forget, seasoned coaches, are also former “Canteranos”, who have coached national teams World Cups Championships and club teams to Cups and Champions League titles. Launched in the summer of 2015, the first Real Madrid Foundation Youth Football and Basketball clinics were held in Hong Kong.
