Participants will also have the opportunity to enjoy a multicultural experience, living together, sharing their vision of the world and their passion for soccer in the facilities of the Ciutat Esportiva of Valencia CF, home of the VCF Academy, the fourth best in Europe in the training of players to compete at the elite level according to the latest report of the CIES Football Observatory.

Children and families will also have the opportunity to learn more about the VCF Academy Philosophy: Sentiment, Valentia i Germanor and enjoy an inclusive and welcoming club like Valencia CF that has launched global campaigns such as VCF Wolrd- Zero Discrimination.
