Location
It is in this sunny, sport-loving city that FC Barcelona has chosen to host one of its official camps: in San Diego, girls and boys aged 6 to 17 will enjoy an intense week of learning, growth, and sharing in the true spirit of the Barça Academy. This dynamic and inspiring setting is perfectly aligned with the Catalan club’s training standards.
A cradle of vibrant sporting culture, San Diego is home to renowned teams such as the Padres in MLB and Wave FC in the NWSL, and boasts modern facilities that make it an ideal destination for young athletes. Here, sport is a way of life—a path to pushing one’s limits and building team spirit.
The city is also known for its open-mindedness, its strong commitment to education and youth, and its cultural diversity, which makes it a rich environment for exchange and opportunity. Every year, it hosts numerous educational, artistic, and sporting events that feed its inclusive and energetic atmosphere.
Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the mountains, San Diego offers an exceptional setting—both urban and natural—where innovation meets quality of life. For young people seeking inspiration, emotion, and progress, it is the perfect playground for an unforgettable football experience.
The sporting Facilities
The FC Barcelona football camp in San Diego will take place at the facilities of Maranatha Christian Schools.
Renowned for the quality of its sports infrastructure, this public school features a modern complex that includes a full-size synthetic grass football pitch, surrounded by a tartan running track, as well as spacious stands to accommodate spectators. The stadium’s professional lighting system ensures training sessions can be held safely, even late in the day.
The school regularly hosts sports competitions and community events, reflecting its commitment to the development of young athletes. It is therefore only natural that FC Barcelona has chosen this venue to hold its official camp in San Diego, offering participants an ideal environment for learning, improvement, and personal growth, in line with the Catalan club’s high standards of excellence.
Catering and food
Each day, children will enjoy a lunch break between 11:45 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., allowing them to regain energy after the morning training sessions. As lunch is not automatically included, it is your responsibility to provide a packed lunch for your child. However, a meal option is available at the time of registration, allowing you to book lunches for all five days of the camp with ease—for maximum comfort and peace of mind.
Safety and security
The safety of the children is an absolute priority throughout the official FC Barcelona camp in San Diego. Every aspect of the organisation has been carefully designed to ensure a secure, reassuring, and age-appropriate environment for all young participants.
Training sessions take place within the modern facilities of University City High School, a site known for the quality of its sports infrastructure. The synthetic grass pitch, supervised circulation areas, professional lighting, and well-maintained amenities provide a perfectly safe setting for playing football.
On the supervision side, children are guided by FC Barcelona-certified coaches, trained not only in the club’s methodology but also in best practices for group management, risk prevention, and educational care. Each coach pays close attention to every child’s well-being, safety, and development throughout the week.
Parents, you can register your child with complete peace of mind: they will grow in a structured environment, led with professionalism and care, where football passion goes hand in hand with high standards of safety and organisation.
