This summer Qingdao and Chengdu will be back in blaugrana as each city are set to host Barça Camps, the first after a few years since the Barça Academy last operated in China. As such, Barça are set to send blaugrana coaches from Barcelona to both cities so the boys and girls taking part can learn and get firsthand experience of how the Club plays football.  

These camps follow and replicate the playing model used for the FC Barcelona youth teams, i.e. ​​“the Barça style”. The primary aim is to spread the Barça brand worldwide, conveying the Club's operating philosophy, with a proactive, collective and creative playing style achieved via the values of humility, effort, ambition, teamwork and respect.

Qingdao and Chengdu to play host

Training will take place in two different centres in Qingdao, with the first week (20 – 25 July) at Campus Laoshan at the Qingdao University of Science & Technology, while the second week (27 July – 1 August) will be at the West Coast Sino-German Football Base. The young players who attend the Chengdu campus (27 July - 7 August) are set to train at the Chengdong Football Park facilities.
