The Football Business Academy is pleased to announce a new partnership with CF Fuenlabrada, its 5th with a Spanish club. Based on the outskirts of Madrid, the club was founded in 1975 and was promoted for the first time in its history to the country’s second division – LaLiga Smartbank – in 2019, where it still plays today.
Currently, CF Fuenlabrada is immersed in a process of professionalization and development from a sportive, communications, and administrative aspect. The objective is to continue the entity’s growth trajectory and aim for promotion in the future. The club will also place a lot of emphasis on its digitalization efforts, as well as continue investing in upgrading their stadium – the Estadio Fernando Torres – which in 2019 went from a capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 spectators.
The partnership has already been set in motion with 2 Candidates from The FBA’s Professional Master in Football Business 7th Edition currently doing internships at the club where they support the staff on a variety of projects.
