Campioni Soccer Academy Returns to Niva Kuramathi Maldives for 2027

17 August, 2026

Back by popular demand, Niva Kuramathi Maldives has announced the return of the Campioni Soccer Academy for 2027. This isn't just another kids' activity—it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for young footballers aged 4 to 16 to train with Premier League legends while their families enjoy one of the world's most spectacular luxury resorts.

Two Unforgettable Weeks in 2027

Campioni Soccer Academy at Niva Kuramathi runs during two separate weeks in 2027, giving families flexibility to choose the session that works best for their schedule:

• Easter Camp: 29th March – 3rd April 2027

• Summer Camp: 26th – 31st July 2027

Each camp runs for six days, with daily training sessions designed to develop technical skills, game awareness, and teamwork in a fun, inclusive environment.

Train with Premier League Legends

Easter Camp: Andy Cole

The Easter 2027 session will be led by Andy Cole, one of the Premier League's all-time great strikers and the fourth-highest goalscorer in Premier League history. Cole's glittering career includes five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and the Champions League as part of Manchester United's historic 1999 Treble-winning side. Known for his sharp finishing, professionalism, and winning mentality, Cole brings world-class experience and inspiration to young players.

Summer Camp: Stuart Pearce MBE

The Summer 2027 session will be led by Stuart Pearce MBE, one of England's most respected football legends. Pearce captained England and managed at the highest levels of the game. His passion, leadership, and determination make him an inspiring mentor for young footballers of all abilities.

Both camps are supported by UEFA 'A' Licensed coach Adrian Whitbread, ensuring professional, high-quality coaching throughout.

"What makes Campioni so special is seeing the confidence and potential that comes through in every session. It's about more than football, it's about encouraging young people to believe in themselves, aim high and enjoy the journey along the way." — Stuart Pearce MBE
