About us
Our Principles
Developing Football Eco-System
We employ an integrated, multi-level approach based on three pillars of development:
1) unique talent detection and development through technology and expertise;
2) capacity building for sport teachers and enhanced physical education;
3) investment in sport infrastructure. This approach integrates the development of mass sports through the education system, infrastructure development in remote locations, capacity building for sports teachers and expertise development, advancement of competition and exposure for competitive experience and visibility, and the use of technology for advanced talent identification and elite talent development.
Developing Talent Through Integration and Expertise
The program nurtures elite football talent by integrating 12-to-18-year-old athletes into a boarding school curriculum. With 61 carefully selected students, the training is delivered by Benfica Lisbon’s international coaches alongside skilled local staff. Guided by the philosophy of "1% improvement every day," the program focuses on continuous development in skills, fitness, mental health, and character. This holistic approach fosters steady progress, shaping disciplined and resilient athletes prepared to excel at the international level.
