More than 2,000 participants in the Foundation's clinics in the Balkans
Together with Be Free Football, this year's programme has reached 21 cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia.
The Real Madrid Foundation, in collaboration with Be Free Football, organised a programme of football clinics for over 2,000 participants aged 6 to 16 from 21 cities in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia. The children enjoyed a unique Real Madrid Foundation educational experience based on the methodology For a Real Education: Values and Sport, combining learning on the pitch with the development of values such as respect, motivation and teamwork.
Be Free Football has been collaborating with the Real Madrid Foundation for eight years and, since 2022, has been working diligently to bring the clinics to the Balkans. This year, a team of 31 coaches from the Foundation have taken their unique football and values programme to the cities of Trogir, Korcula, Ogulin, Dugo Selo, Sisak, Ilok, Dezanovac, Forkusevci, Jagodina, Glina, Mostar, Konjić, Odzak, Samobor, Zagreb, Sremska, Mitrovica, Osijek, Garcin, Zadar and Sarajevo. In addition, thanks to a scholarship programme, several underprivileged children have had the opportunity to participate in the programme.
Andrés Muntaner, director of the Real Madrid Foundation's camps and clinics, was received by the CEO of Be Free Football, Zlatko Maric, in the city of Sambor, where he was able to see how the children experienced a unique summer thanks to football and values.
