Afrasia Barcelona Club: Elite 24 Players Back from a Unique Lifetime Experience! AfrAsia Barcelona Club: Elite 24 players back from a unique lifetime experience! Monday 4 August 24 selected players from AfrAsia Barcelona Club have today landed on the island after having completed their one week of intense training at the FCBescola. In just a few short days of training there has been great progress in the players’ tactical awareness, their reading of the game and their decision-making when in possession of the ball. “We return home after having lived our passion and a unique opportunity with greater ambitions and dreams to excel as footballers! It was an amazing experience and we have learnt high level techniques with the coaches who were strict but friendly and patient. Barcelona is a beautiful city and we have learnt many things about its history but the highlight of our visit was the Nou Camp stadium,” stated one of the boys. David Callow, Director of Football First says, “Our training here at the Nou Camp facilities with the FC Barcelona coaches has produced astonishing results. This high standard of confidence and stature which the boys have reached must be maintained in Mauritius. We have been given very encouraging reports from the Barcelona coaches on the technical ability of all 24 boys but they have also expressed the need for regular weekly coaching sessions to continue improvement and understanding of the methods and tactics of the “Barca” way of playing. I am proud of all the boys and have witnessed the major progress in their football mentality on a pitch and travelling together as a team. The top 24 players have been proud and excellent ambassadors of Mauritius,” The training week started on Monday 28 July with 2 youth coaches of the FC Barcelona and ended Friday 1 August. Present on the grounds, AfrAsia Bank and Football First attended the coaching sessions for the week in order to follow the progress made by the boys and ensure continuity in their training in Mauritius. The theory lessons which were held along with coaching sessions included FC Barcelona history, methodology and tactical systems while the training sessions provided them with an in-depth coaching to further develop their technical skills as well as their strategic thinking on the field. Youth coaches, Oscar Cespedes and Jordi Molà present to evaluate and train the top 24 Mauritian footballers have provided feedback and reported to their Football First coaches that the boys have excellent technical capabilities and will be focusing on their capacity to play as a team and develop their tactical decision making skills when performing a match. “We are proud to see the 24 boys back with this one kind of lifetime experience. This is a first for Mauritius, as well as for AfrAsia Bank who enters the football sphere, and we are very satisfied for being at the foreground of such developments on the island. As part of our CSR philosophy, our priority remains children education and development and we believe this project is the perfect fit in identifying the great talents and giving them the required level of training, support and capabilities to transform them into more complete human beings reaching their full potential,” explains Kamben Padayachy, Deputy CEO, Head of Global Banking, Treasury and Markets of AfrAsia Bank. Before starting their training, the boys had some fun visiting the famous Camp Nou and FC Barcelona museum a highlight for their trip and unanimously appreciated activity. They also had the opportunity to visit and tour around the city of Barcelona, learning about its history and enjoying the panoramic views and creative architecture. “This opportunity offered by the AfrAsia Barcelona Club is again showing us how much football in Mauritius can grow and improve with the help of one of the world’s greatest clubs. The motto of FC Barca “Mes que un club” means “More than a club” and our week here has shown us just what this entails in terms of other values such as respect, humility and integrity. This is the inspiration that the AfrAsia Barcelona Club and Football First are bringing back to our island to keep moving Mauritius football forward!” explains Wilson Li, Football First Director. In September 2014, the AfrAsia Barcelona Club will be establishing an FC Barcelona-style football academy managed and run by the coaching staff of Football First. By mid-2015, the AfrAsia Barcelona Club will then be seeking to secure affiliation with FCBEscola, the official football school of FC Barcelona. As of today’s date, only 12 such schools have been granted this honor worldwide and no sub-Saharan country has been afforded this privilege. A football camp with FCBescola coaches will also be held in December 2014 in Mauritius. ---end--- About AfrAsia Bank A REGIONAL BANKING FORCE WITH GLOBAL REACH Strategically based in Mauritius and with representation in key markets, AfrAsia Bank Limited serves the Africa-Asia trade corridor, combining its strengths and expertise in three core divisions: Private Banking and Wealth Management Corporate and Investment Banking Global Business Since inception, the Bank has expanded through a combination of substantial organic growth and a series of strategic acquisitions.

About FC Barcelona FC Barcelona is a professional football club, based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Founded on 29th November 1899 by a group of Swiss, English and Catalan footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto "Més que un club" (More than a club). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the world's second-richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of $613 million, and the third most valuable sports team on the globe, worth $2.6 billion. Barcelona is the most successful club in Spain, in terms of overall official titles won (81). Barcelona was ranked first in the 'All-Time Club World Ranking' by IFFHS, on 31 December 2009,[5] and was placed on top of the 2013/14 UEFA club rankings. It is the current Spanish football champion and has won 22 La Liga, 26 Copa del Rey, 11Supercopa de España, 3 Copa Eva Duarte and 2 Copa de la Liga trophies, as well as being the record holder for the latter four competitions. In international club football, Barcelona has won four UEFA Champions League, a record four UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, four UEFA Super Cup, a record three Inter-Cities Fairs Cup and a record two FIFA Club World Cup trophies. Barcelona is one of the most supported teams in the world, and has the largest fan base among all sports teams on all major social networks. Barcelona's players have won a record number of Ballon d'Or awards (10), as well as a record number of FIFA World Player of the Year awards (7). In 2010, the club created history when three players who came through its youth academy (Messi, Iniesta & Xavi) were chosen as the three best players in the world, having bagged the top spots at the FIFA Ballon d'Or, an unprecedented feat for players from the same football school. FCBEscola is the school model of FC Barcelona, exported internationally, with the idea of extending both the Barça brand and also to transmit the working philosophy and values of FC Barcelona to the world.

  • Dosier Supercopa Masculina 2021
    DOSIER DE PRENSA 13/01/2021 14/01/2021 ESTADIO NUEVO ARCÁNGEL ESTADIO LA ROSALEDA La Supercopa de España es una competición de fútbol, organizada por la Real Federación Española de Fútbol desde 1982, y que enfrentaba al campeón de la Liga española de Primera División contra el campeón del Campeonato de España - Copa de SM el Rey, hasta la pasada edición en la que comenzó a disputarse bajo el formato “Final Four”. En 1986 y 1987 este trofeo no se disputó debido a que no se llegó a un acuerdo para poner la fecha de los partidos. Hasta la edición de 1995 si un equipo lograba los títulos de Liga y Copa, directamente se adjudicaba la Supercopa; como ocurrió con el Athletic Club en 1984 y el Real Madrid CF en 1989. Desde 1996, si un equipo hace doblete, el título de la Supercopa lo disputa frente al subcampeón de Copa. Esto ocurrió en ese mismo año, cuando el Club Atlético de Madrid ganó la Liga y la Copa del Rey, el FC Barcelona disputó la final de la Supercopa de España por ser subcampeón de Copa del Rey y venció al conjunto colchonero. En la temporada 2018/19 la Supercopa adoptó el formato de partido único, venciendo el FC Barcelona al Sevilla FC por 2 - 1. En 2020 la competición pasa a disputarse en formato “Final Four” en Arabia Saudí. Este año, debido a la situación provocada por la pandemia mundial Covid-19, se disputará en territorio nacional. La Competición se celebrará en tres días distintos, de los cuales, dos serán las semifinales y uno la final.

  • Our Elite Group of Players Gear up for 1 Week's Training with FC Barcelon
    AfrAsia Barcelona Club – From 1,850 to a final 24! Our elite group of players gear up for 1 week’s training with FC Barcelona in Spain! Saturday 28th June AfrAsia Bank, Football First and McDonald’s today announced the names of the top 24 players selected from last week’s final trial at the New George V Stadium, ending the suspense of our young footballers from across the nation. Hon. Satyaprakash (Devanand) Ritoo, Minister of Youth & Sports was present to personally congratulate the players and their parents. With a total of 1,850 participants having been evaluated in Mauritius and Rodrigues, both organisers and partners are proud of the success of this event, a first on the island and a stepping stone for the future phases of this pioneering football program. “The last month has been hard work but very rewarding for us all to see the talented young Mauritian footballers. It would have not been possible without the involvement of our sponsors, coaches, and registration staff, plus the student volunteers from Le Bocage International School. It motivates all of the staff to see the skills and commitment the boys and parents have to improve the football in Mauritius. I would also like to thank all the boys who took part in this first national selection process, they should not feel that they failed as to us at Football First they were all winners for participating. There will be more options in the very near future to improve their skills when we open the doors for the Football First coaching courses starting in September.

Pep Guardiola, rueda de prensa, Manchester City FC Gira de pretemporada por Asia, 23/07/19 ON THE LIMIT SOBRE EL INFORME INFORME DE FIFPRO SOBRE LA CARGA DE TRABAJO DE LOS JUGADORES EN EL FÚTBOL PROFESIONAL DE ÉLITE. En este informe se recogen las opiniones de los jugadores sobre la carga de trabajo impuesta desde sus respectivos clubes y selecciones nacionales. Para realizar el informe se han utilizado informes médicos anteriores de FIFPRO y encuestas realizadas a jugadores. Asimismo, se han tenido en cuenta conclusiones de estudios científicos relativos a la exposición de los jugadores a una carga de trabajo excesiva y un descanso insuficiente. La industria está experimentando una evolución acelerada, al igual que las reformas en el régimen de competiciones. Como consecuencia de ellas, el calendario de partidos internacionales es mucho más denso. El juego es más rápido, físico e internacional que nunca. Aunque se han incrementado las exigencias a los jugadores, su capacidad física y psicológica tiene límites naturales. Ello no solo pone en riesgo su salud y, por lo tanto, sus perspectivas profesionales, sino que también amenaza con disminuir su rendimiento deportivo máximo y, como consecuencia, la calidad de las competiciones.

  • History History of the FC Barcelona History History
    History History of the FC Barcelona History History History of the FC Barcelona Early years (1899-1908) The ad in Los DeportesOn 22 October 1899 Joan Gamper placed an advert in Los Deportes declaring his wish to form a football club. A positive response resulted in a meeting at the Gimnasio Sole on November 29. Eleven players attended: Gualteri Wild, Lluís d'Ossó, Bartomeu Terradas, Otto Kunzle, Otto Maier, Enric Ducal, Pere Cabot, Josep Llobet, John Parsons, and William Parsons. As a result Foot-Ball Club Barcelona was born. Several other Spanish football clubs, most notably Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao, also had British founders, and as a result they initially adopted English-style names. Joan Gamper used his past to form the team. Prior to forming this club, he played for Swiss clubs like FC Basel and FC Zurich. Even with forming the colors and crest of FC Barcelona, he looked back on his past clubs. He took Basel's colors and parts for the crest to form his new club. FC Barcelona quickly emerged as one of the leading clubs of both Catalonia and Spain as they competed in both the Campionat de Catalunya and the Copa del Rey. In 1901 they won their first trophy when they won the Copa Macaya and in 1902 they also played in the first Copa del Rey final, losing 2-1 to Club Vizcaya. With Gamper's seal (1908-1923) In 1911 Joan Gamper became club president for the first time. Gamper took over the presidency as the club was on the verge of folding.
