MANCHESTER INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL ACADEMY

Welcome to the Manchester International Football Academy (MIFA), the football academy that allows you to train as a full time professional footballer. Our UK based football academy encourages development in football skills, while understanding the need for continued education. We run a variety of football training and study programmes, where football players can gain internationally recognised qualifications.

We offer a FREE FOOTBALL TRAINING AND STUDY PROGRAMME for UK and EU nationals between the ages of 16 and 18 years old. The 24 week course will give players the skills they need to be successful throughout life and in the world of work whether that be within professional football or elsewhere.
