MILO FC Barcelona PH Team’s Journey to Spain
The MILO FCB Road to Barcelona program recently culminated in a nine-day journey of extraordinary football opportunities, multicultural camaraderie, and unforgettable memories for the very first Philippine delegation.
The MILO FCB Philippine delegation headlined the launch year of the four-year global partnership
Joining 55 other players from different countries namely Australia, Colombia, Jamaica, New Zealand, Tahiti, Thailand, Singapore, and Panama, the Philippine team, composed of nine talented football players, embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime training in Barcelona Spain that proved to be the biggest milestone in their promising journey as athletes to date.
Trained by FCB Escola coaches, the kids were able to learn skills and values of FCB with delegates from eight other countries
The delegates’ ultimate champion experience began at the home stadium of FC Barcelona, Camp Nou. Here, they were taught the theoretical foundations of playing the Barca way, followed by an awe-inspiring tour of the entire football mecca and its in-house museum. Another highlight of their trip to Barcelona was being able to watch a marquee football match.
The kids were also able to explore the sights and sounds of Barcelona through a city tour
Treated to premier seats for an impressive view of the action, the children cheered their hearts out as FC Barcelona prevailed over Málaga CF. The MILO FCB Ultimate Experience further thrilled the Philippine team as they were part of the select markets to participate in an intimate training session with FC Barcelona legend, Eric Abidal.
FC Barcelona has one of largest memberships among football clubs worldwide and its achievements have also made it one of the most successful.
