Academy

The Football Academy was created to promote the development of youth football in Sardinia by strengthening Cagliari Calcio's ties with the territory. The project, aimed at boys aged between 6 and 12, aims to allow baby footballers from the island and selected areas in the rest of Italy to grow and be valued to the fullest already in their own club.

That is why Cagliari shares with affiliates the best training and coaching methodologies, through constant opportunities for discussion between its staff and the instructors of the affiliated club, who are invited to attend meetings and seminars at the CRAI Sports Centre - held by qualified technicians and educators - dedicated to the correct psycho-physical development of young athletes.

The project has both a sporting and social value. While Cagliari wants to represent the preferred route for young footballers who aspire to become professionals, it also wants to contribute to the growth of the majority of young athletes for whom sport must represent, first and foremost, an important training ground for life.
