What if your child’s next soccer camp took place on one of the most beautiful islands in the Atlantic? In Funchal, capital of Madeira, the Real Madrid Foundation opens its doors to young soccer players aged 6 to 13 for five days of intensive training under the colors of the most decorated club in soccer history. Technique, tactics, team spirit: everything is built around the method that has shaped generations of champions.
Madeira is much more than a vacation destination.

Location
The camp takes place at Campo de Futebol Adelino Rodrigues, a soccer field located in Funchal, the capital of Madeira.
Madeira is no ordinary island. Nicknamed the Island of Flowers, it amazes with the diversity of its landscapes — dramatic cliffs, laurel forests listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a strikingly beautiful Atlantic coastline. Funchal, its capital, is a lively, well-connected city open to the world, welcoming thousands of visitors each year seeking sunshine, nature and authenticity.
For children, Madeira represents a rare opportunity: training in an exceptional island setting, away from the usual tourist circuits, while fully experiencing a week of soccer under the colors of Real Madrid. Total immersion, complete sporting experience — and the feeling of stepping onto an island where soccer has always run through the veins.

Campo de Futebol Adelino Rodrigues provides a functional and well-maintained setting, suited for welcoming young soccer players training to Real Madrid Foundation standards. Located in Funchal, it allows for smooth organization of the different age groups, from morning technical drills to afternoon matches and tournaments.
Participants play on a well-kept pitch, in a secure and structured environment designed so every child can fully focus on their development. The quality of the facilities reflects the seriousness of a program run by one of the most demanding clubs in the world.

The coaches on the pitch are UEFA-certified, rigorously selected by the Foundation, and trained to support every child with the same caring standards that characterize the Madrid club.
Campo de Futebol Adelino Rodrigues, an organized and secure venue, hosts the different groups in well-defined areas. The daily schedule — alternating technical blocks, hydration breaks and game time — ensures a controlled pace, adapted to each age group, from first day to last.

Training
Five days, a different theme each day, and a progression that builds session after session. In Funchal, the day opens with in-depth technical blocks in the morning, before shifting to matches and tournaments in the afternoon — an alternation that allows every child to immediately put into practice what they have just learned.
Groups are formed from day one by age and level, ensuring each child a balanced and stimulating environment. Coaches can adjust them during the week if a player deserves to move to a more challenging group. A well-paced, progressive week, designed so that improvements are visible — from the moment they get back home.
Coaches and coaching method
Madeira is the land that saw Cristiano Ronaldo grow up. Training here under the colors of Real Madrid is a story that writes itself. But beyond the symbol, what makes these camps truly valuable is the rigor of those who run them.
The coaches deployed in Funchal are Real Madrid Foundation professionals: UEFA licence holders, active year-round within the Foundation’s programs and the club’s Academy. Not seasonal staff — specialists who pass on, drill after drill, the principles that have forged the greatest careers in world soccer.
On the pitch, their approach combines technical standards with individual attention. With one Foundation coach for every 12 to 14 players, supported by local coaches, every child receives personalized guidance, concrete feedback and measurable progress. All within a positive and serious atmosphere — true to the club that carries this camp.
