From New Zealand to FC Barcelona ⚽ Help Oscar Represent Barça Academy NZ in Spain
Help Oscar, a 7-year-old Kiwi footballer, represent Barça Academy NZ at a 10-day elite training clinic at Barça’s Ciutat Esportiva in Spain.
Napier, Hawke's Bay
Oscar is a 7-year-old Kiwi footballer who has been selected to represent Barça Academy New Zealand at a 10-day elite training clinic in Spain, training at the home of FC Barcelona.
For a young footballer from New Zealand, this is an incredible opportunity to experience world-class coaching, learn the famous Barça football philosophy, and train alongside young players from around the world.
Oscar loves football and spends as much time as he can playing, training, and learning about the game. Being selected for this clinic is a huge opportunity for him to develop his skills, grow his confidence, and experience football at one of the most famous clubs in the world.
Travelling from New Zealand to Spain is a big journey and the costs involved with flights, accommodation, and the training programme are significant.
We’re raising funds to help cover the travel and training costs so Oscar can make the most of this incredible opportunity.
Any support, big or small, would mean the world to Oscar and our family. We’ll also be sharing updates along the way so everyone who supports Oscar can follow his journey from New Zealand to Barcelona.
Thank you for helping a young Kiwi chase his football dream.

That’s more than we’ve raised so far, just from sharing.

Thanks you much for your belief, support and donation. Much appreciated! Please share the page if you are able. 🔥⚽️🔥⚽️🔥⚽️
Hey Brendon! Thanks so much for the generous donation. The standard has certainly raised since we were kids/teenagers/men. Was a pleasure playing with a man of your talent over the years at school, age grade and men’s level. No doubt all that talent was passed onto your son who is yet another shining example of what hardwork, love for the game and natural talent can achieve. An awesome player for Oscar to look up to. I’m sure he’ll get that contract soon. I’m guessing he’s still with the Phoenix club and look forward to watching him. Might see you at park island sometime soon. Or we can watch his professional debut on the big screen like you set up for ANZAC day. Cheers bro!⚽️🔥⚽️🔥⚽️🔥
Cheers Lucas! Opportunity to play multiple sports has helped along with an awesome rugby league coach when he started his rugby journey! 🔥⚽️🔥⚽️🔥⚽️
Legend Vonce! Was so cool catching up and seeing Oscar and William out kicking the ball and connecting from the moment they met. See you after the clinic! Cheers! ⚽️🔥⚽️🔥⚽️🔥⚽️
Thanks Louise! Try to give the kids as many opportunities as we can to develop life skills through sports. The work inside the classroom is just as important. In fact Oscar and I had the education conversation yesterday after he asked what would happen if he got a professional contract before finishing school like Yamine Lamal. He understands not to put all his eggs in one basket but to never give up on the dream! ⚽️🔥⚽️🔥⚽️🔥⚽️
