We also provide international opportunities in countries like Finland, the USA, China, and more.

Our academy offers a full range of services including accommodation, football training, and personal development. Players can choose between public or private schooling. Thanks to our strong network of contacts, players have the chance to train and compete with local teams — providing a truly comprehensive football education.

The residential program offers flexible durations: 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, or a full season.

The structure of Tecnifutbol Academy is composed of specialists from various areas, including UEFA Pro coaches, fitness coaches, physiotherapists, psychologists, and other sports professionals with experience in top-level academies.

We base our Football Style on three important aspects:

01
Possession

Controlling possession of the ball, moving the ball quickly with few touches to destabilize the opponent’s defensive structures.

02
Positioning

Positioning our players well on the pitch, allowing us to be economical with our effort and well-organised to react quickly when we lose the ball to prevent counter-attacks and try to win the ball back in the opponent’s half.

03
Pressing

Pressing aggressively to win the ball back as quickly as possible when we lose it. The best time to win the ball back is immediately after we lose it.
