With ages ranging from 6 to 16 years old, the attendees were mainly from Albania itself, although there were also visitors from Montenegro, Kosovo, Greece and even as far afield as Canada.

The VCF Soccer Camp was run at the Football Republic by Redi Jupi Academy facilities, a venue well connected to the Albanian capital and where the participants showed the high level of talent in a country emerging as a football force.

Each of the participants was evaluated according to four fundamental aspects: Technique, tactics, fitness and psychology. The VCF Soccer Camp tests were designed by the Valencia CF Methodology Department to teach using drills and challenges, in the same way the club trains young talents at the Ciudad Deportiva.

This first experience in Albania adds another country to the list of places where the VCF Academy Programme has taken place, as well as VCF Soccer Camps in other venues around the globe in recent years, such as Switzerland, United Kingdom, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Estonia, USA, Canada and Panama.

Such was the success of the visit to Tirana, that a second edition is already being planned.
