Beyond the Pitch

Comprehensive Football Experience

At Getafe International Madrid Football Academy (GIMFA) and Aquinas American School, students enrolled in our program are not only immersed in top-notch football training but also benefit from a comprehensive soccer experience that extends beyond the field. Here’s what our program entails:
STADIUM TOURS

Immersive Stadium Visits

Students have the unique opportunity to visit various iconic football stadiums, including but not limited to Santiago Bernabéu, Wanda Metropolitano, and Camp Nou. These tours offer insights into the rich history and culture of Spanish football.

Weekend Activities

From exploring Madrid’s vibrant neighborhoods to experiencing its rich cultural heritage through museum visits and local festivals, students enjoy a well-rounded experience outside of training hours.

Broadening Horizons

Participation in Friendly Matches

Students get the chance to test their skills against diverse opponents by participating in friendly matches against other academies, local clubs, and federated teams. These matches not only offer valuable playing experience but also foster camaraderie and sportsmanship.

Showcasing Talent
