Levante UD – EDI

Levante UD EDI is the biggest football school for people with intellectual disabilities in Spain. This school was created 10 years ago, and since its creation it has been the first football school for this special sport-players inside a Football Club’s foundation in Spain and probably also in the world.

With 167 players with ages between 5 and 60 years old, and 8 different workgroups, this school works as similar as possible to the first team of Levante UD. Football coaches, physiotherapists, doctors, psychologists, nutritionists work day by day only for this school, bringing a level of professionality around them never seen before.

This school has also recently suffered a big evolution, two new sections have been created inside it: initiation, for Childs between 5 and 14 years old; and the women section, exclusively for girls. These two sections are also pioneers at Spain’s football Foundations.
