Goals Guaranteed! 
This season, our sports director Gonçalo Moura is stepping into the role of Santa Claus, spreading joy, development, and unforgettable experiences to footballers everywhere.
So, if you’re looking to level up your Christmas gifting game, NF Academy’s got the ultimate assist. Who wouldn’t want a shot at greatness in their stocking? 
You can fulfill your child’s dreams with an NF Christmas gift card. It comes with the name of the player and what program you have purchased in 2025. A perfect Christmas gift to give away on the big day, says NF Academy’s sports director.
A gift card that can, for example, contain a place for the very popular program NF Elite Camp in week 8 and week 9. An international program, where players and families are based in our beautiful Cascais.
A suburb of Lisbon, which gives the whole group many opportunities to combine a city break with beach life and of course the main destination of the trip; Training with international quality.
This is our first open program in 2025, where you can further qualify for the Easter tournaments Future Cup and Costa Daurada Cup, Moura continues.
NF Elite Training Camp in the winter months is my favorite program. We are talking about six sessions with the NF Academy coaches, plus the incredible experience of spending a day at Sporting CP Academy. With two more sessions with the Sporting CP coaches and a match against Sporting CP’s youth team.
There is a lot of football on the pitch, plus team and individual meetings to help the players absorb all the learning, Cebola adds.
There may be more to the package under the Christmas tree than the gift card for a dream experience.
You can also book a consultation with our coaches to work together to create the best sports plan for your child. With a partial payment of 200 euros per program, which is settled as an advance, we guarantee a place on all programs in 2025, says sports director Goncalo Moura about this year’s Christmas gift to those who already have the most.
The road to Sporting
NF Academy and Sporting have since 2019 had a collaboration to find and develop young talents in Scandinavia.
The path from local programs to the international ones provides continuity with quality training over time.
In all the programs, we have experienced coaches, with a different type of approach on and off the field, who make the players think, develop and excel in both arenas. They learn to play the game under the Portuguese methodology. Our idea is not to completely change a player in three days or a week, because our methodology cannot be learned overnight.
Together we can develop the players over time. If you look at those who have been through this process, the development is fantastic, says Pedro Cebola.
He also points to the opportunities NF Academy provides in addition to being a valuable supplement to everyday training in the club at home.
Through our collaboration with Sporting CP, a club that has developed two Ballon D’Or players, and which does not need any further introduction, we give players the opportunity to travel there every year for training stays.
It gives some of our players the opportunity to show themselves on the top international arena, and maybe in the long run become part of the club, Pedro Cebola concludes.
