Club Med and PSG Academy Brazil announced a partnership that will incorporate special editions of Camp PSG Academy at two of the brand's resorts in Brazil during January 2026. The initiative, developed in conjunction with the official football academy of Paris Saint-Germain, will allow young people between the ages of 5 and 15 to experience a unique program that combines vacations with training inspired by the methodology used in the youth divisions of the French club.
The program is geared towards children and teenagers—in male, female, and mixed groups—and includes technical, tactical, and developmental activities led by coaches certified by the PSG Academy Brazil. The program integrates training sessions, matches, and activities focused on athletic and personal development, while families can enjoy the amenities, services, and premium hospitality that distinguish Club Med resorts.
The PSG Academy Camp at Club Med Rio das Pedras (RJ) will take place from January 7 to February 1, 2026, organized over four consecutive weeks. Activities will run from Wednesday to Sunday, starting in the afternoon on the first day and ending in the morning on the last. On full days, participants will have two daily training sessions, each lasting two hours, scheduled between 9:00 and 11:00 and between 15:00 and 17:00. Simultaneously, the PSG Academy Camp at Club Med Lake Paradise (SP) will be held from January 9 to 25 in a similar format, with activities scheduled in two shifts per day and opening and closing sessions lasting half a day.
The PSG Academy has a presence in 22 countries and more than 200 locations worldwide, impacting over 40,000 students through programs that transmit the sporting philosophy of Paris Saint-Germain. With more than 200 million global followers on social media, the club maintains its largest fan base outside of France in Brazil. Within this context, the PSG Academy Brazil stands out as the largest branch of the international network, with more than 50 locations and over 15,000 active students.
With a methodology aligned with Paris Saint-Germain's youth development program, the academy prioritizes the holistic development of intelligent, ethical athletes prepared for the challenges of sport and life. The teaching combines technical and educational aspects, fostering student growth both on and off the field through personalized guidance.
Pablo Godoy, VP & General Manager of Club Med for Hispanic South America, highlighted the importance of this collaboration, stating that “the alliance celebrates the French roots of both institutions and reflects the spirit of Club Med, focused on offering unique moments that integrate sport, camaraderie, and fun for the whole family.” He added that supporting the growth and enjoyment of children and teenagers in an environment that fosters learning and play is one of the brand's core values.
With this alliance, Club Med and PSG Academy Brazil consolidate a proposal that combines tourism, sports and training, expanding leisure options for families and strengthening the bond between two brands with a prominent presence in the international market.
