In a significant move to nurture young football talents in India, the Real Madrid Foundation have launched an Educational Football Programme in collaboration with Conscient Sports. The initiative is set to impact over 4,500 students across four major cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore.

The Educational Football Programme offers students the opportunity to develop their football skills through a specialized training methodology.

This methodology is directed by coaches who are trained under the Real Madrid system, ensuring that participants receive top-notch instruction. The program not only focuses on technical football training but also emphasizes values-based education through sport, a hallmark of the Real Madrid Foundation’s approach.

Emilio Butragueno, Director of Institutional Relations at Real Madrid, officially announced the collaboration between the Real Madrid Foundation and Conscient Sports. He highlighted the program’s goal of bringing Real Madrid’s esteemed educational and training methodologies to elite educational institutions in India. This initiative aims to support the sustainability of the Foundation’s social projects in the region.

“We will put our heart and soul into helping you train and learn the values that make Real Madrid and the Real Madrid Foundation unique. And so that you and your families can have fun doing what we love so much: playing football,” Butragueno said, welcoming the participants.

The launch of this program comes shortly after FC Barcelona closed all its academies in India. These academies ran for 14 years and also involved Conscient Sports. The Director of Conscient Sports, Kriti Jain Gupta stated, “Conscient Sports has continuously adapted its training philosophies to meet the changing needs of players and their families.”

This program is poised to make a substantial impact on young football enthusiasts in India and provide them with opportunities to grow both as players and individuals under the guidance of Real Madrid.
