Villarreal Academy partners with Athletes Sphere Academy for first-ever camp in Harare
On 27th, 28th and 30th April 2026, Villarreal CF coaches will be heading to Zimbabwe to hold the club’s first-ever camp in the African nation’s capital, Harare. This camp is organised in collaboration with Athletes Sphere Global and is exclusively for players from Athletes Sphere Academy, boys from five to 19 years old. This three-day event held at Morris Depot Grounds in Harare is a unique opportunity for Zimbabwean players to train under Villarreal’s renowned methodology, and one lucky player will be selected to participate in an official Villarreal CF tournament in Spain.
Gerald Sibanda, Director of Athletes Sphere Global, stated: “We are delighted to collaborate with Villarreal CF for the next chapter of our football development programs for Zimbabwe. It’s a great honour working with a massive club in Spain and UEFA competitions. Our affiliation with Spanish football brings identity and investor confidence in our sports brand Athletes Sphere Global. It’s another step forward towards promoting our beautiful country Zimbabwe as a global destination for football and sports development. This camp brings so much hope and excitement to our youth players from different backgrounds, and we look forward to learning and developing our players under the football methodology of Villarreal CF.”
Brandon Páramo, Villarreal CF international business manager, added: “It’s great to collaborate in this first camp in Zimbabwe in partnership with Athletes Sphere Global. Through this initiative, we aim to share Villarreal CF’s methodology with international players, supporting their development by providing a unique opportunity to learn directly from our coaches. This is just the beginning of our journey in the region, and we look forward to expanding our collaboration, creating further opportunities both on the sporting and commercial fronts in the near future.”
