Spain: On the way to the 5th edition of the FIFA/CIES Programme

Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC) in Madrid and the Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) have officially launched the registration process for the fifth edition of the FIFA/CIES Programme in sport management. Classes will start on 17 October.

Over 150 students from different sporting and professional horizons have already completed this Programme which offers a general view of fundamental principles in modern sport management. Students attend classes taught by experts in the fields of law, management, event management, finance, marketing, sponsorship and communication. The courses combine theory and practical examples and foster exchanges among participants as well as networking in the field of sport. Moreover, leading professionals share their knowledge and experience during conferences organised in the framework of the curriculum.

« This Programme played an important role in my career. It offered me practical tools needed for effective management of sport (…). Both the teaching staff and my classmates contributed to the success of my experience and opened doors to the world of professional sport (…). Thanks to what I learned, I am certain that I will soon be able to make my dream come true and complete a viable project. That is why I recommend this Programme wholeheartedly » says Ana Rossell, programme alumnus and professional football player

For his part, another alumnus Juan Ruiz considers that those who want to devote their careers to sport management should attend the Programme: « This course is based on an academic programme which is both demanding and qualitative. It offers a pleasant environment and close cooperation with the organisers which makes it a gratifying experience. »

CIES is delighted with the excellent reputation enjoyed by the Programme in Spain and, beyond that, with the excellent cooperation developed with URJC and t RFEF over the years, in particular through organisation of seminars and conferences on various aspects of sport and of football in particular.
