Resort in Morocco Partners Paris Saint-Germain to Open Football School

Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort, a popular tourism destination in Morocco created by Kerzner International, has partnered with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), one of the most prestigious football clubs in France, to launch the Paris Saint-Germain Football School at Mazagan.

The camp, targeted at youngsters aged between 6 and 16 years, promises a football training program delivered by PSG, the French league title winner, and FIFA-certified professional coaches.

Supervised by Benjamin Houri, the program of the camp is spread over the entire summer season, with the goal of helping younger players reach their full potential.

“We have designed three sessions: the morning one for technique training, afternoon one for beach football and Fitness Game after 5pm. The sessions will take place on a daily basis from 15 June to 15 September 2014, except Mondays and Tuesdays,” said Stephan Killinger, President, Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort.

Mazagan offers these programs on a day to day basis as well as a full package tailored for children who spend vacations with their families in Mazagan.

“First-time enrollment requires a course and Paris Saint-Germain Football school kit, which includes shirt with name, short, socks and sports bag. Moreover, children attending a five-day program will receive a Paris Saint-Germain Football School certificate and a pin,” Killinger added.

Founded in 1970, PSG has gained strong reputation for its football training targeted at passionate fans of the sport, while offering programs tailored to nurture elite budding players.

PSG Academy has organised over 150 courses since inception in 2005. It has its own football school in Paris, which that attracts around 1,000 kids on a weekly basis.
