2026 has started strong for BEST. Once again, we were delighted to welcome the players from Al Hilal Academy, one of the most prestigious football academies in Saudi Arabia, to Spain for an intense nine-day experience combining high-performance football, competitive matches, and unforgettable moments across Madrid and Barcelona.
Throughout the program, football development was at the heart of the experience. The players took part in training sessions and football clinics with both Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona, gaining first-hand insight into their methodologies, the professionalism of their coaching staff, and the opportunity to train in top-level facilities that push players to improve and grow every day.
Alongside the training component, the trip also included an important competitive side. The team played several matches against clubs in both Madrid and Barcelona, allowing the players to put everything into practice, compete at a high level, and continue developing as a group in a real and demanding environment.
Off the pitch, the experience was packed with unique activities that make these trips truly special. The group had the chance to visit iconic football landmarks such as the Santiago Bernabéu and the FC Barcelona museum, and also enjoy the atmosphere of LaLiga live by attending two Spanish First Division matches: Rayo Vallecano vs Mallorca and Getafe vs Real Sociedad.
At BEST, we are proud to keep working with one of the leading academies in the Middle East and to continue expanding these international programs year after year, with more activity, more volume, and an even higher level of sporting and organizational excellence. Thank you to Al Hilal Academy for trusting us once again. See you soon on the next adventure!
