History

The Marcet Football University was founded in 1978 by José Ignacio Marcet[1] as a football youth training organization in Europe,[2] which has established schools in various parts of the world. Programs allow students to train and pursue education at the same time. This includes training in leadership and professionalism.[3] [4]

Program

By 2018, over a million players had trained with Marcet alongside more than three thousand staff members. The academy had programs present in 30 different countries,[5] and hosted players including eighteen students[6] from North Korea,[7] more than a dozen students[8] from Ukraine,[9] South Korea, China, Indonesia, Kazakhstan,[6] India,[10] and Honduras.[11] The children of high-profile parents, such as Shakira and Gerard Piqué, have also attended their schools.[12] The school's most populous program is in Barcelona,[13] Abroad schools have been set up as far away as Canada or India.[14] Alumni of the academy have included Han Kwang-song,[15] Oliver Torres,[16] and Konrad de la Fuente.[17] Marcet has partnered with football clubs in order to arrange junior competitions, including Barcelona FC.[18]
