Location
The camp takes place at Complexo Desportivo Amândio Oliveira Carvalho, in partnership with Grupo Desportivo de Cavalões — a local club rooted in the sporting fabric of the region.
Vila Nova de Famalicão is northern Portugal in all its vitality. A human-scale city with a deep attachment to soccer, it sits in the Minho region — renowned for its lush landscapes, vineyards and rivers. Between Braga and Porto, Famalicão enjoys an ideal geographic location for those wishing to combine sport and discovery of authentic Portugal.
Far from the hustle of major tourist capitals, Famalicão offers a serene, accessible and welcoming setting, conducive to focus and development. An environment where children can fully dedicate themselves to their soccer — and fully enjoy it.
The sporting Facilities
Complexo Desportivo Amândio Oliveira Carvalho hosts the camp in optimal conditions. Well-integrated into the local sporting landscape, this complex features facilities suited for young soccer players: well-maintained pitches, structured spaces for the different age groups, and a functional environment designed for training.
The partnership with Grupo Desportivo de Cavalões, a recognized local club in the Braga region, ensures a well-oiled organization and ground knowledge that directly benefits participants. Children train in a secure setting where every space — from warm-ups to matches — is organized according to Real Madrid Foundation standards.
Safety and security
The Real Madrid Foundation makes no compromises on supervision. In Famalicão as elsewhere, the coaches on the pitch are certified, selected and trained according to the Foundation’s strict criteria. Their priority: ensuring every child progresses in a safe, supportive and stimulating environment.
Complexo Desportivo Amândio Oliveira Carvalho provides a secure and well-organized setting, where groups are separated by age and level. The daily schedule — structured, well-paced, with built-in breaks — reflects rigorous organization designed for every participant’s well-being, from first day to last.

Training
In Famalicão, the typical day starts with welcome and warm-up at 9:00 am, followed by three technical blocks punctuated by hydration breaks. The afternoon gives way to themed matches and tournaments, so that every concept worked on in the morning is immediately put into practice in game situations.
The groups — assembled by age and level from day one — allow each child to develop in a balanced collective. From group 1 (6-8 years old) to group 3 (11-12 years old), progression is tailored to each age bracket’s needs. And if a child stands out, groups can be adjusted during the week.
After five days, participants leave with a concrete foundation: new playing habits, better game reading and a well-deserved pride — that of having worn, for a whole week, the colors of La Casa Blanca.
Coaches and coaching method
What happens on the pitch in Famalicão is no accident. The coaches running the camp are professionals mandated by the Real Madrid Foundation itself: UEFA licence holders, integrated year-round into the Foundation’s programs and the Madrid Academy. Not temporary staff — specialists who live the Real Madrid method every day, and pass it on with the precision and excellence it demands.
On the pitch, every drill fits into a thought-out, structured progression logic. Corrections are immediate, feedback personalized, encouragement constant. With a ratio of one Foundation coach for every 12 to 14 players, supported by local coaches, no child is left behind.
High standards, kindness, joy of the game: three pillars that sum up the spirit of these camps — and the reason parents can entrust their child with complete confidence.
