Barça Academy back in India

This June, the Indian cities of Delhi, Bangalore, Ahmedabad and Hyderabad will all be hosting Barça Academy camps as the club returns to a country where it made a huge impact a few years ago, providing an excellent opportunity to spread the club's famous football style and philosophy to yet another part of the planet. The goal of the project is improve a comprehensive range of aspects of the game of every one of the boys and girls who attend, including personal aspects just as creativity, cooperation and initiative.

These five-day training courses are being run in association with club partner Sports NTW. Ahmedabad will be the first from June 2 to 6, followed by Hyderabad from June 9 to 13, Bangalore from June 16 to 20 and finally Delhi from June 23 to 27. Later, in autumn, there will be a second round of camps, and the pattern will be repeated on a year round basis to ensure that the Barça Academy reaches the whole of the country and that the maximum number of children can get to learn about the Barça methodology and values.

Many players will also get to enjoy such experiences as the Barça Academy World Cup, played at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper in Easter week, as well as the regional APAC Cup and different specialisation courses in Barcelona.

Barça Academy is now operative in over 50 different countries, taking the famous FC Barcelona values to more than 25,000 children every year, as well as holding almost 200 different camps around the world.
