Overview
The football industry has developed tremendously over the past years and continues its spectacular rise as witnessed by increases in TV rights deals, transfer numbers, and participation levels, to name just a few, around the world. Unfortunately, due to a lack of professionalism, transparency and ethics a lot of scandals keep taking place and more fans and stakeholders than ever are demanding change. And that is where The Football Business Academy comes into play.
Their mission is to meet this need for professionally trained leaders.
The Professional Master in Football Business from the Football Business Academy focuses on three pillars: Knowledge, Network, and Experience.
Throughout the four modules of the 12-month program, Candidates will be engaged through online courses, guest lectures, active participation at business events, a provided internship in football clubs, associations or football related companies, on-site courses in Geneva and workshops, insightful Field Trips across top European clubs, stadiums, football-related institutions, and a Student Business Project which consists of working on a consulting mission for a football club/league or other FBA Partner.
Having the combination of these different elements and in a structured way is essential in order to understand the intricacies of such a dynamic and fast-paced industry, and The FBA care about making sure its Candidates can easily find a job after their graduation while being fully capable to add real value and help transform it.
