The programme gives ambitious players the opportunity to experience life inside one of Spain's leading professional football clubs.


Delivered in partnership with Iberopath and Cádiz CF, this programme places players into an authentic professional environment where they are coached, assessed and developed by the club's coaching staff.


Every player is evaluated throughout the programme and placed within the most appropriate training environment based on their current ability. Depending on performance, this could include opportunities to work inside the clubs Academy, B Team or First Team systems.



This is not simply another football camp. It is a genuine football development experience designed to identify potential and create realistic progression opportunities.

Professional Pathways

Every player's journey is different.

Throughout the programme, coaches continuously assess technical ability, tactical understanding, physical performance and mentality.


Based on these assessments, players may progress into:

- Academy Pathway

For developing young players with strong long term potential.

- B Team Environment

For players approaching senior football who demonstrate the required standard.

- First Team Opportunities

Exceptional performers may receive opportunities to progress further within the club's professional structure.


While progression is the objective, selection remains entirely performance based and opportunities cannot be guaranteed.


Assements on players in attendance will be conducted by Cadiz CF staff, Cristobal Molina (left) and Lee Cowling,

Through Cádiz CF's extensive network across Spanish football, players who are not quite ready for Cádiz may still be recommended to clubs operating at an appropriate level.

Outstanding performers may also benefit from relationships with clubs including Sevilla and Real Betis, creating further opportunities within the Spanish football pyramid.
