Real Madrid Foundation [RMF], an
institutional arm of the world renowned and prestigious Spanish football
club Real Madrid, will be holding their first ever football
camp, Real Madrid
Foundation Campus Experience
in Lahore in December 2016. At a press conference held at Pearl
Continental Hotel, the Foundation’s Director Joaquin Sagues announced
that registrations for the camp are now open across Lahore.
The
five-day football camp of the Real Madrid Foundation will be taking
place at the Model Town Football Academy from 27th December’16 till 31st
December’16, for which Real Madrid Foundation trainers
and coaches will be traveling to Pakistan from Spain.
Speaking about why the foundation has chosen to
hold a camp in Pakistan, Real Madrid Foundation Director, Mr. Joaquin Sagues said, “We are very proud to be able
to bring Real Madrid Values closer to all Pakistani children. We are convinced
that this first edition of Campus Experience in Lahore will be a roaring
success.”
Over
the past five years, the Real Madrid Foundation has held football
camps across over four continents through which they have engaged
more than 30,000 children.
Through
the Real Madrid Foundation Campus Experience, the
foundation aims to provide children between the ages of 7 to 17 an opportunity
to learn the game of football and the values inherent in sport. These values
serve as an educational tool, capable of contributing to the comprehensive
development of the youth who practice it. In addition, the foundation’s aim is
to promote the coexistence and the individual and social development, as well as
the values associated with Real Madrid.
The
official host and rights holder of the Foundation Real
Madrid Campus Experience in Pakistan is QSports, a
Qatar-based sports management firm, which has successfully organized the camp
in Qatar in 2014 and 2015. The official event management companies for the camp
are Checkmate Consultancy and Green Peak International.
Speaking
about the expectations QSports has from the upcoming camp to
be held in Lahore, as well as future plans, CEO Mr. Adil Ahmed said “We
hope that the campus will bring a much needed boost to promote football in
Pakistan. It’s a wonderful opportunity for young footballers to learn the
values of Real Madrid, one of the greatest football clubs in the world. This is
just a first step and our aim is to host the campus in other cities across
Pakistan as well and bring many more programs to Pakistan offered by the Real
Madrid Foundation”.
Sharing
their experience of the organizing phase of the camp and the response from
Lahoris so far, Green Peak International’s Chairman Mr Salman
Butt said “GPI's vision is to promote sports through
development of grass-root and premier events. After the successful completion
of the PSL, we are extremely excited in working with Qsports and Checkmate to
launch the FRM Campus Experience, and will work together to further develop
this over the next 3 years! We are confident that such quality initiatives will
augment the development of football in Pakistan at the grass-root level as well
as domestic and national levels. InshAllah”.
Omair
Abbasi Chief Executive Officer of Checkmate Consultancy commented
“Checkmate Consultancy is proud to be associated with Foundation Real Madrid
and we believe that this Campus Experience project will go a long way in the
mental and physical development of the youth in Pakistan”.

ABOUT REAL MADRID FOUNDATION
The Real Madrid Foundation is the instrument by which
Real Madrid is present in society and develops its social and cultural
awareness programmes. Its main objective is to promote, both in Spain as well
as abroad, the values inherent in sport, and the latter’s role as an educational tool capable
of contributing to the comprehensive development of the personality of those
who practice it. In addition, as a means of social integration of those who
find themselves suffering from any form of marginalization, as well as to
promote and disseminate all the cultural aspects linked to sport.
The Real Madrid Foundation exists thanks to the
collaboration of different public authorities, to the generous support it
receives from important national and international companies through patronage
and sponsorship agreements and, in particular, thanks to the individual
donations made by thousands of Madrid’s fans, who wish to express their
support and strengthen their bond with Real Madrid.
The Foundation divides its activities into four main
areas:
• Sports activities
• Educational and cultural activities
• Social welfare activities
• International cooperation
• Institutional activities
In 2012, 2,300 children between 7 and 17 years of age,
attended the Foundation Real Madrid Football Camps, representing 73 different
nationalities across 5 continents. The Qatar Camp in December 2014 attracted
over 300 kids who participated in a 7 day camp at the Al Sadd Sports Club.
