The staff
The High Performance Clinics are supervised by ICEF’s technical team. Holders of the highest official UEFA certifications, all coaches are youth development experts with extensive football experience and a solid knowledge of the professional football world, whether as players or coaches.
The ICEF team trains, supports and conditions the players, allowing them to confidently exceed their limits and reach a higher level of play, thanks to an intensive high level preparation.

An exclusive collaboration
Recognized internationally for their values and methodology, the Paris Saint-Germain Academies are present in 5 continents and bring together more than 20,000 young players fortunate enough to benefit from the know-how of Paris Saint-Germain, through unique cultural and sporting experiences. The Academy of Paris Saint-Germain in Geneva focuses on the development of its players on and off the field as well as on game intelligence – football IQ, through quality learning based on the training methods of the Paris Saint Germain.
The methodology taught during the ICEF High Performance Clinics is based on the fundamental principles of European excellence, in particular Paris Saint-Germain, allowing each player to improve their physical performance, develop a vision of the game and improve their tactical and technical skills.
The training and preparation themes offered to young people every week have been designed by the UEFA A and FFF coaches of the International Center of European Football and are based on the themes of Paris Saint-Germain’s training programs.
These programs have been designed to provide players with complete technical, tactical, physical and mental preparation in order to meet objectives specific to each level, to raise their level of play and improve their understanding of the game.
The objective of these High Performance Clinics offered by the International Center of European Football and in collaboration with the Paris Saint-Germain Academy Geneva, is therefore to make each participant discover the environment of a professional center while highlighting an effective and innovative game that allows the player to flourish in his quest for performance.
