The MALLORCA INTEGRA FOUNDATION AND VICENTE DEL BOSQUE FOOTBALL ACADEMY extend their agreement signed in 2021 between both entities by creating a SOCCER AND MULTISPORT TECHNICAL TRAINING PROGRAM aimed at people with intellectual functional diversity for the 23/24 season.
In addition to the general objectives that form the DNA of each entity and in which they share values, both entities want to achieve with this program to facilitate access to the practice of soccer and other multisport activities adapted to the needs and interests of users with intellectual functional diversity, offering a quality and specific sports activity.
Aurora SampolFMI Management: “With this new program we seek that the athletes of the Mallorca Integra Foundation have new experiences with other athletes and young sports enthusiasts belonging to the Vicente del Bosque Football Academy, sharing education in values through soccer and all the activities that are developed together”.
For their part, the Vicente del Bosque Football Academy coaches will organize monthly technical and training sessions in which players from both entities will be able to share values, experience and methodology adapted to the needs of the participants.
In addition to these days, they will also offer other experiences of coexistence with the members of the academy and the Foundation during the season, such as the Summer Campus and the Mallorca International Football Cup-Vicente del Bosque Tournament, among others.

Fundación Mallorca Integra was born in 2018 with the aim of being an entity that stirs consciences, of references, close and consolidated that fulfills its social commitments. Through our projects we want to contribute to improving the conditions and quality of life of the people we serve. Our mission is to promote their social and personal integration and we want to achieve this by offering quality sports and leisure time, training experiences adapted to the interests of people, support in the transition to adulthood and raising awareness in our environment. We know that we cannot fulfill our mission alone and, for this reason, we strive to create alliances and network with companies and other entities in our environment.
It should be recalled that the Mallorca Integra Foundation received last year’s first prize for Sport and Values Vicente del Bosque.
This summer the Vicente del Bosque Football Academy technical team will arrive at the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar to offer for two weeks a unique program of soccer, languages and multisport activities in incomparable facilities. The Summer Camp Vicente del Bosque has been created so that true soccer lovers can combine their passion while improving their level of English or Spanish with experienced native teachers. The program will run for two weeks, August 1-8 and August 8-15, 2021.
The Summer Camp Vicente del Bosque aims to combine education and physical activity through sports, promoting values such as friendship, integration and companionship, objectives that are shared with the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar. For the development of the sports program, this campus will have a qualified and highly qualified technical team that will be under the supervision of the former National Team Coach, Don Vicente del Bosque.
In addition to promoting the practice of soccer, those attending this Summer Campus will also have the opportunity to practice multiple sports disciplines such as tennis, paddle tennis, basketball, swimming or water activities with the best monitors and in incomparable sports facilities.
Simultaneously to practicing sports, participants will also improve their level of English or Spanish with daily classes taught by the teaching staff of the Rafa Nadal International School, an international bilingual school located in the same facilities of the Academy.
The Vicente del Bosque Summer Camp will be a unique opportunity for sport, fun, leisure and values to come together in a campus where young people from all over the world will live together.
The Academy’s facilities have been equipped to comply with the safety and hygiene protocols established by the health authorities. Thanks to the synergy with Quirónsalud (the Academy’s healthcare partner), the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar has been considered by the press and international institutions as a success story and an example in terms of safety and trust thanks to its management during the health crisis caused by COVID-19. It has also obtained the “COVID-19 by Quirónsalud Safe Protocol” seal issued by Applus+, which accredits the quality and efficiency of the Academy’s work processes to guarantee the safety and well-being of all its players.
“I want you to take advantage of soccer to become better,” advises the former Spain coach to the participants in his campus.
“If you don’t dominate the ball, it’s a bad thing…” It was one of the lessons taught by Vicente del Bosque at the opening of his first campus in the cradle of soccer, at the Rayners Lane FC ground in London, in front of eighty boys and girls who proudly wore the shirt of his academy.
“It’s very difficult to get there, but I’m not telling you to stop dreaming,” stressed the “best coach in the world” (awarded as such by FIFA in 2012, after winning the World Cup and the European Championship). “What I want is for you to use soccer as a tool to become better: I don’t know if we’ll be able to make good players out of you, but we’ll make good kids.
“We are coming to London to internationalize our work,” admitted Del Bosque. “And to show in passing that soccer has no borders, even if some people want to put them up again.”
The three-day campus is open to children of all nationalities, but the presence of the “Spanish quarry” has been more than guaranteed through the Cañada Blanch Soccer School, directed by Tomás Ruiz, who acted as presenter at the well-attended ceremony, along with campus director Pau Alberti.
“We are facing a global project that finally arrives in London, after a delay forced by the pandemic,” explained Tomás Ruiz. “Vicente del Bosque not only symbolizes the success of our soccer, but also a way of working, embodied since 2011 in the academy that bears his name and where sports and values training go hand in hand”.
“Soccer teaches you to be generous”, was another of the “lessons” of the maestro Del Bosque, who emphasized that in the “campus” there is no competitive pressure and that what prevails is precisely “friendship with the ball” (technique) and team play, including parents. “Tactics will come later,” stressed the former national team coach, a standard bearer of restraint and balance from the bench.
“There is no single model, but I believe that in soccer it is very important to control emotions,” explained Del Bosque with his usual parsimony. “Although sometimes I see my reaction to Iniesta’s goal, like shrinking and clenching my fists, and I don’t know if I could have celebrated it in any other way…. It fills me with pride to see our heroes, like Xavi or Xabi Alonso, now become coaches”.
About the new national coach, Luis de la Fuente, it is enough for him to say that he is his “friend” and that he hopes he can get the best out of the new generation of the “reds”, despite the puncture in Qatar… “Winning a World Cup is something very difficult, which also requires a touch of luck: we had it in South Africa”.
“Without the victory, nothing is the same,” concluded Del Bosque, in a final lesson in realism. “I probably wouldn’t be here if we hadn’t won the World Cup (…) The truth is that I ended up being a professional coach due to the vicissitudes of life. For 17 years, my job was in the Real Madrid youth academy: working with the youngsters and knowing how to attract them. And to make sure that the best moments of their lives are associated with soccer”.
Mondelēz’s iconic cookie brand invites consumers to enjoy their favorite sports as a family and live unique experiences through three exceptional allies.
Fernando Morientes, Amaya Valdemoro and Carlos Moyá have become brand ambassadors.
This limited edition will include sports motifs on its packs and, for the first time, also on its cookies.
Encouraging an active and balanced lifestyle, as well as enjoying sports as a family to connect different generations and create memorable memories, is the goal of the new Príncipe Sports Academy. This initiative by Príncipe, the renowned cookie brand from Mondelēz International, has been joined by three fellow travel partners: the prestigious sports academies Vicente del Bosque Football Academy, Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar and Movistar Estudiantes Academy.
Thanks to the alliance with these three leading institutions in sports values training, consumers will have the opportunity to enjoy sports in a very special way with their families and with the help of great professionals. In this way, Príncipe seeks to unite different generations through sports, fostering family bonds, in the same way that its cookies invite families to share moments of happiness together, generation after generation.
“After two years collaborating with La Roja, this year at Principe we want to go a step further with respect to one of our brand purposes: trying to make families happy by uniting generations through sports. For this reason, the Príncipe Sports Academy not only aims to promote sport and physical activity in consumers’ day-to-day lives, but, thanks to sports academies with a wealth of experience, we also want families to be able to enjoy memorable experiences and strengthen their bonds while enjoying unique sporting environments.” saidFilipe Salsinha, Bakery Marketing Director Mondelēz in Iberia.
Through this new initiative, which will be available in Spain until November 30, the brand is raffling different experiences with its three partners to experience sports as a family at the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar in Mallorca, at the Movistar Estudiantes academy in Madrid or at Vicente del Bosque ‘s soccer campus in Mallorca. On the other hand, for the first time in its history, the iconic drawings printed on its cookies will include silhouettes of soccer, tennis and basketball balls randomly inside the blue packs. In addition, to give visibility to the initiative, approximately 6 million customized packs have been produced with exclusive designs of its emblematic prince in which he appears linked to sports and academies. In this way, Príncipe Sports Academy will be present in more than 90% of the brand’s portfolio, specifically in the varieties Príncipe Original, Príncipe Maxichoc, Príncipe Estrellas and Príncipe Minis.
It is worth recalling that the WHO insists on the need for countries and communities to take steps to provide more opportunities for all people to be active, in order to increase physical activity.[1] This requires a collective effort and its implementation in different sectors and disciplines. Príncipe is no stranger to this reality and, with the aim of promoting, enabling and encouraging physical activity among consumers, takes a step further into the territory of sports by creating the Príncipe Sports Academy.
For his part, Pau Albertí, director of the Vicente del Bosque Football Academy, said: “The Vicente del Bosque soccer campus has established itself as a benchmark in education and physical activity that promotes sports and values such as friendship, integration and companionship. We hope that this collaboration with Príncipe Sports Academy will continue along this path and, above all, will serve to unite families around the practice of sports”.
To make itself known, the Príncipe Sports Academy will also have great ambassadors from the world of sports such as Carlos Moyá, Fernando Morientes and Amaya Valdemoro, who will encourage families to practice sports together and participate in this activation.
