"The FBA is all about "building the future of football together" and they stay true to their world. Whereas universities may very well cease contact once you've graduated, The FBA continues to be the support mechanism their current and past students can rely on when looking to connect with new people.
The feature that caught my eye the most and one that makes it stand out is the guaranteed internship. This enables students not only to get a sneak peek of what life is like working in the football industry, but also offers the chance of potentially being hired by the company they intern once the program is finished."
"Definitely a life changing experience, it really went beyond my expectations. Being able to know the world of football, which I'm deeply passionate about, from the inside has been a true blessing. It was an honour visiting very important institutions like FIFA, Concacaf, Sporting Clube de Portugal, Sport Lisboa e Benfica and Estoril Praia, and getting to know the amazing people that work in them."

GUARANTEED INTERNSHIP
A unique opportunity to gain a first work experience in the football industry. 3 months internship in a Club, League, Agency, Association, Brand, Event Organizer, Football Governing Body, NGO.

NETWORKING EVENTS
What is a better way to break into the football industry than by participating in a football business event? The FBA is proud to ensure the attendance of our Candidates to prominent industry events.

UNIQUE FIELD TRIPS
Each Edition, we organize exciting Field Trip - with various visits in European countries - where our Candidates get a unique opportunity to position themselves in the market and broaden their network.
"I was confident in my decision to join The FBA but never expected the journey to have been as incredible as it has been. From gaining both theoretical and practical skills that will help shape my future career, to connecting with first class professors and industry professionals. Further, being privileged enough to spend a great deal of time with my Edition colleagues who come from all four corners of the world. You all challenged, inspired and taught me plenty."
