As part of our ongoing collaboration with FC Barcelona, we’re proud to announce the launch of a new Barça Academy in Hoover, Alabama. This new location reinforces the club’s growing presence in the United States and reflects our joint commitment to bringing Barça’s world-class methodology and values to more young athletes across the country.
We continue to support FC Barcelona’s international expansion with the launch of a new Barça Academy in the United States, this time in Hoover, Alabama. The academy is set to open in the 2025/26 season and will be operated by our team as part of our ongoing collaboration with the club.
This marks another milestone in Barça’s long-term global expansion strategy, reflecting our shared commitment to bringing the club’s values and methodology to new communities around the world.
Following the successful management of Barça Academies in Austin, Carolinas, and Chicago, the Hoover Academy is the latest in a series of initiatives led by us to expand the Barça brand in key international markets. The new academy will operate year-round, offering a comprehensive training program rooted in the club’s world-renowned methodology and designed to develop young talent both on and off the field.
For FC Barcelona, this expansion presents a significant opportunity to strengthen its connection with the rapidly growing U.S. soccer ecosystem. By building stronger ties with American families, players, and communities, the club is not only exporting its football philosophy but also nurturing long-term brand loyalty and cultural presence.
