Granbury, TX – Global Football is gearing up for its fourth trip with IMG Academy Football, as the team will travel to Spain this upcoming October to play the Spanish U19 Select Team in Madrid. This exciting journey aligns with Spain’s National Day, adding a festive element to the experience.
This trip continues IMG Academy’s mission of combining competitive sports with culture and education. The game in Madrid will be a highlight, especially with the city’s football scene buzzing. The Madrid Bravos of the ELF are currently enjoying a strong season, and as the Washington Commanders will face the Miami Dolphins a month later, in the city’s first-ever NFL regular season game. IMG Academy’s visit will add to the momentum, showcasing the sport’s rising popularity in Spain.
In addition to competing, IMG Academy will host football clinics and training sessions in Madrid, sharing expertise with local players and coaches. These clinics will focus on skill development, strategy, and teamwork, fostering a deeper connection between the team and the Spanish football community. This initiative reflects IMG Academy’s commitment to growing the sport globally while inspiring the next generation of athletes.
Beyond the field, the team will explore Spain’s rich culture with visits to iconic landmarks like the Las Ventas Bullring, Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the Royal Palace, and Plaza Mayor, where National Day festivities will be in full swing. A stop in Toledo to see a historic sword and knife factory, along with shopping in the city centre, will offer a glimpse into Spain’s traditional craftsmanship. These experiences will broaden the players’ perspectives and create lasting memories.
The team looks forward to embracing the vibrant atmosphere, competing in Madrid, and connecting with the local community.
