Launched in Madrid in 2001 by the Fundación Real Madrid, the Educational Football Program (EFP) is today one of the most important football-based youth development programs in the world.
100,000+ youth, 80+ countries
From Palestine to Brazil, from China to Ivory Coast, the EFP program has been deployed on all continents. In Algeria, it is a world first for northern Africa.
The philosophy: football + human values
What distinguishes the EFP program from simple football camps is its holistic approach. Each session alternates between technical training and workshops focused on values: respect, fair play, perseverance, teamwork, and inclusion.
