Johan Cruyff Institute and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, an academic partner with whom we offer the University Master’s Degree in Sports Management in both face-to-face and online modalities, offer a Sport Sponsorship MOOC every year
This massive, online, and free course is appealing for presenting an activation plan for a Cruyff Court by the Cruyff Foundation. The best projects submitted are eligible for a scholarship for the Postgraduate Degree in Sport Marketing and Sponsorship Online at Johan Cruyff Institute. In the 2023 edition, the jury decided to award the projects presented by Aland Becerra and Paola Ricchiuti.

Aland’s proposal shone for its practical application of the course concepts, establishing specific lines of action and KPIs to assess the success of the initiative.
Paola Ricchiuti: Kings League as a New Horizon for Cruyff Courts
For her part, Paola Ricchiuti presented an innovative approach on how Cruyff Courts can capitalize on opportunities in emerging events like the Kings League. Her deep and detailed analysis of the Kings League, Queens League, and Prince League revealed the untapped potential of these collaborations.

And what better way to start than by studying at one of the most prestigious institutes for sports specialization.”
