About multisport & EMCA
Multisport clubs are clubs with several sport sections, such as athletics, basketball, football, handball, etc. The European Multisport Club Association (EMCA) represents the interests of multisport clubs in Europe, such as SS Lazio, Everton, Bayer Leverkusen, Feyenoord, Levski Sofia and Olympiacos SFP. EMCA promotes the activities of its affiliated clubs through the management of all forms of competitive sports and recreational activities.
Partnership outlines
The new partnership between EMCA and IFBI is all about member participation through the sharing of content, knowledge and experiences. For example, throughout the academic year, EMCA staff members will follow specific topics taught in IFBI’s Postgraduate Course in Brussels. On the other hand, EMCA staff members are invited for a lectureship at IFBI in Brussels.
One of the main goals of the partnership is to enhance creativity and to carry out new research in the field of football business. EMCA has the possibility to ask IFBI to create an in-depth research report, based upon a challenge the organisation is currently facing. “This research opportunity is an exclusive way for EMCA to get information on specific topics, this with insights coming from experts in the field”, says EMCA General Secretary Federico Eichberg.
Student internship
One of the highlights of this collaboration is a summer internship for one IFBI student per academic year, for a minimum of three months. To align the needs of the organisation and the profile of the student, interested students have the possibility to write a research report in favour of EMCA. The student with the best report has the possibility to do the internship.
New opportunities
“Through this new partnership, we want to give our students the right set of tools to launch their careers in the world of professional football”, says Simon Van Kerckhoven, CEO of the International Football Business Institute. “As we tackle different approaches to management in football, we are keen on working together with EMCA to bring our course to an even higher level”.
