Unique Aiglon Partnership

Manchester City Football School

In 2023, Aiglon College proudly partnered with Manchester City Football Club (MCFC) to establish the first Manchester City Football School in Europe. This collaboration has since flourished, offering our students unparalleled opportunities to develop both as individuals and as footballers.

The programme - the only one of its kind in Europe - offers every Aiglonian the opportunity to get a world-class football education on campus, tailored to their specific needs and interests. The curriculum caters to all different levels. It starts with the very basics for those who have maybe never kicked a ball before, and it goes all the way to more experienced players who understand the nuances of the game.

Join our KickOff Programme

Aiglon College’s “Kickoff” programme, in partnership with Manchester City Football Club (MCFC), offers students aged 10 to 15 an unparalleled opportunity to enhance their football skills through the City Play Model, which reflects Manchester City’s playing philosophy and methodology.  Participants engage in both on-field training sessions and interactive off-field workshops, covering topics such as nutrition and performance analysis, to support holistic player development. This specialised programme combines the vibrant community experience of Aiglon’s summer school with MCFC’s elite football training, fostering teamwork and resilience in a picturesque Alpine setting.

“Through our unique football programme at Aiglon Summer School, we don't just teach skills; we cultivate character, teamwork, and resilience on and off the field,” stated Fiona Tweedie, Director of the Aiglon Summer School. “This is a unique opportunity to experience the unique alpine setting of our campus in Chesières and make friends from over 40 nationalities.”
