WHO CAN APPLY?

The UEFA MIP is designed for former international athletes (primarily football players but not exclusively), from all countries, who have played at the highest level, with the aim of giving them tools for match-winning performances in football administration and management as part of a second career.

This programme is aimed at helping these former elite athletes to make the transition fromÌýtop players to top leaders.

The UEFA MIP is designed to meet not only the specific needs of these athletes who have played at the highest level but also the needs of sports organisations.

Former professional athletes who have played international matches have a lot to offer in the sports sector. Some of the skills acquired as a high-level athlete are directly transferable to the role of a top manager working for a company or an organisation (leadership, commitment, team spirit, etc.). The sports sector has therefore a clear interest in offering them the opportunity to start a second elite career.

The UEFA MIP is aimed at providing the tools to transfer and complement these sporting skills, thanks to innovative and tailor-made learning methods, in order to help former top players become top leaders!

PROGRAMME DETAILS

The UEFA MIP, Edition 4, programme comprises seven week-long sessions over a period of twenty months (from November 2021 to June 2023) and is compatible with a professional schedule. The sessions are held in major European cities (Nyon, Paris, London, Dortmund, Amsterdam, Barcelona or Madrid), while the final session takes place in New York (USA).

Each course is designed for 30 participants who are expected to participate actively to the seven sessions of the training programme, to get involved in the various practical exercises that are tailor-made for them, and to write a report to be defended orally at the end of the programme.

The level of expectations corresponds to a master’s degree but the assessment process and teaching methods have been tailored according to the participants’ specific backgrounds as former internationals that have played at the highest level.
