Highlights from Nike Football Camps with Chelsea FC in Summer 2019

This summer saw the launch of our new residential Nike Football Camps with Chelsea FC Foundation. Over 450 players of 60 nationalities joined us for some expert football training and life skills coaching from a fantastic team of Chelsea FC Foundation coaches and to enjoy some exclusive access to the club’s facilities with a number of exciting excursions! We look back and hear from the head coach and others about what makes these camps so special.

Some of the highlights of the summer include a surprise run-in with a Chelsea FC football legend, being inspired by the success of the Women’s World Cup, the weekly player awards ceremony at Stamford Bridge (which included a top secret prize!) as well as some impressive matches against some local Chelsea Foundation teams. We’re already looking forward to next year!
