The iconic Am\u00e9rica de Cali football club offers its players, members and staff the opportunity to train at the Johan Cruyff Institute with special conditions<\/h2>\n

Am\u00e9rica de Cali will offer its players, members and administrative staff the possibility to access the academic training<\/a> of the Johan Cruyff Institute<\/a> with interesting discounts, thanks to the collaboration agreement signed by the two entities. The agreement also presents opportunities for the students of our institution, since in addition to learning about the management of this historic football club through case studies and the club\u2019s participation in presentations and educational activities, Am\u00e9rica de Cali<\/a> will also offer five internship places for which our students can apply. <\/p>\n

Am\u00e9rica de Cali<\/a> S.A., known as Am\u00e9rica de Cali or simply Am\u00e9rica, is one of the largest and most popular clubs in Colombia and is considered to be one of the most important in South America. With a total of 16 titles between national and international championships, it is one of the most successful teams in Colombian football. The club has won the third most championships of the Colombian League (13 titles) and most recently they were the 2016 champions of the Primera B Category. At the international level, Am\u00e9rica have been runners-up in the Copa Libertadores de Am\u00e9rica four times, and is the Colombian club that has played the most finals of this tournament.<\/p>\n

Ricardo P\u00e9rez Tamayo<\/strong>, president of Am\u00e9rica de Cali<\/a>, highlights the importance of the agreement:<\/p>\n

“For us, this alliance is very important because it means we can offer our professional and amateur athletes the chance to get professional training when they are no longer playing football and therefore be able to continue their careers in this beautiful sport from other areas. And for those of us in administrative and management areas, it will help us specialize in this dynamic race that requires us to be up-to-date with all the new strategies that football requires both on and off the pitch.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
