The footballing model and values underpinning the Milan Academy Bizkaia are a point of reference for the Basque Country, with MSC Butroe Kirol, a local club, and the Rossoneri focused on promoting high-quality football to accompany every athlete in their personal and sporting growth. The project is present in Gatika, Loiu and Mungia and involves more than 270 players aged between five and 18.

Official AC Milan Head Coach Massimiliano Caniato has the role of training the local coaches: during regular visits to the region, he shares his love for football and the methodological principles developed daily by AC Milan with U18 players in mind. The aim is to guarantee that every player experiences personal growth and make them feel part of a family in which the values of sport provide the main foundation.

This isn’t just a simple partnership with AC Milan, it's a pact which encompasses the whole region and the future of our youngsters."
