UEFA Career Transition Programme (UEFA CTP)

Programme overview

The programme features talent tests, self-assessments, interviews, case studies and role play to help you analyse your strengths and personality traits. UEFA experts will present a variety of professional opportunities and share their insights and knowledge in a series of bespoke interactive presentations.

As a highlight of the course, former professional players will share inspiring personal stories about how they successfully managed their career transition after their retirement. At the end of the programme, you will carry out an engaging case study of real-life situations that will help you choose a new career path that best suits your interests. UEFA experts will also help you identify the next logical steps and draw up a career action plan.

We encourage applications from male and female football and futsal players. With a limited number of participants per session to ensure it remains interactive and useful, the programme is delivered in English.
