We had an amazing time on the Study Trip to #Madrid!
Our students from the Master in #FootballBusiness, in partnership with @fcbarcelona - @barcainnovationhub, enjoyed a three-day Study Trip to the Spanish capital.
They visited @laliga ’s headquarters, attended @worldfootballsummit 2025 panels, and networked with top professionals from the #FootballIndustry.
The @cdleganes welcomed them for a tour of their stadium and facilities, offering an inside look at how a LaLiga second division professional club is managed.
