With football’s popularity surging in India, young Indian athletes now have an unparalleled opportunity to train under one of the sport’s greatest legends. Club Med, a global leader in premium all-inclusive holidays, is set to bring the prestigious Zico 10 Camp to Asia for the first time. The camp, led by Brazilian football icon Zico, will take place at Club Med Kiroro Grand, Japan, from 17 July to 31 August 2025.
The Zico 10 Camp, known for its high-performance training methodology, has already made a significant impact in Brazil, where it has trained over 6,700 young footballers since 2018. Now, for the first time, young Indian football enthusiasts will have access to the same elite coaching experience in Asia. Zico 10 Camp is included in the all-inclusive Club Med package at no extra cost for guests who book the package.
Designed for players aged 6 to 17, the Zico 10 Camp offers an intensive football training program, combining skill development, agility training, and tactical learning. Coaches personally trained by Zico will mentor participants, introducing them to the Brazilian style of play, focusing on technical excellence, strategic gameplay, and overall athletic growth.
The camp will run weekly from Thursday to Sunday, featuring structured morning and afternoon training sessions, as well as friendly matches. It aims to provide young players with a professional training environment, helping them refine their abilities and gain valuable insights from one of the most respected figures in football.
Set against the scenic backdrop of Hokkaido’s mountains, Club Med Kiroro Grand offers a unique blend of sports, adventure, and luxury. While young footballers engage in intensive training, accompanying families can experience Club Med’s all-inclusive hospitality, featuring gourmet dining, outdoor adventures, and leisure activities.
