The renowned Barça Academy Soccer Camps returned to the US in June 2024. The camps began on June 10th and completed their journey across 36 cities by July 19th, reaching over 7,000 kids.
Players aged 6 to 17 experienced first-hand the Barça training methodology and philosophy, fostering a deep connection between FC Barcelona and its local fan base. This year marked another milestone for ISL, which had been the driving force behind the organization of Barça Academy Soccer Camps in America since 2012, reaching a record number of cities last summer.
This extensive reach underscored ISL’s commitment to supporting FC Barcelona’s expansion in the U.S., allowing young fans and their families to experience why Barça is more than just a club. Its influence continued to grow, with four official Barça Academies managed by ISL in the country.
These academies and the summer camps play a pivotal role in promoting soccer in the U.S., a country with a rich sporting culture and a growing passion for the world’s most popular sport.
As the U.S. gears up to co-host the World Cup in 2026, initiatives like the Barça Academy Soccer Camps are crucial in nurturing the next generation of soccer talent.
