Program Highlights

UNC is developing innovative partnerships with the leading European Soccer clubs including Manchester City FC, Sevilla FC and Benfica FC. The former is ranked the #1 most innovative sports club in the world. Students will meet with management and sporting side on location during pre-season. Students will be able to see how sports teams operate and compare best practices as they travel and shadow the club professionals on-site. We are advance planning for ManCity FC Women’s team which will play in the US for the first time ever at UNC. Students may undertake an optional virtual internship in preparation for this program.
