QNET, the official direct selling partner of Manchester City FC, as part of its commitment to developing
talents and as a corporate social responsibility exercise, has sponsored three young African footballers to
attend the City Football Language School in Manchester.
The City Football Language School is a two-week football and English course for young football players.
The course began on 28th July and will end on 12th August, 2019.
The young footballers were selected from a competitive process in Ghana, Cameroun and Ivory Coast.
The course is at no cost to the young footballers.
City Football Language school is an inspiring 2-week football and English course for young players aged
12-17, taking place in the heart of Manchester City’s training grounds at the City Football Academy.
The selected young players are exposed to Manchester City’s training philosophy and methodology through
training sessions led by City Football Schools coaches.
They also have the opportunity to improve their English language skills on an interactive journey through the world of football with British Study Centres language teachers.
The young footballers are learning and training at the home of Manchester City in the heart of the Etihad
Campus, with access to outstanding facilities.
The highly innovative football and English language syllabus focuses on maximising learning both on and off the field, covering key areas of a professional footballer’s life. In addition to its British Council accreditation, the course is accredited by Eaquals, whose aim is to guarantee high quality in language teaching and learning worldwide.
