The strategic tie-up provides a platform for GISB students to deepen their football business knowledge through a series of projects and interactions with the Spanish club and creates internship opportunities in Spain to select aspiring sports managers.

SD Eibar will leverage the Mumbai based Institute’s extensive network to connect with industry influencers and build their understanding of the Indian football landscape.

The club was promoted to the top-tier of Spanish football in 2014. Fondly called as ‘Los Armeros,’ the football team is based in Eibar, Gipuzkoa, in the autonomous Basque Country.

The Global Institute of Sports Business is an industry-driven approach to sports management education with a clear focus on furthering individual growth, fostering student employability and generating sector impact.

GISB offers its students a post-graduate degree in Sports Management certified by Madrid, Spain based Instituto Superior de Derecho y Economía (ISDE) a globally renowned Law and Business educational institution.

As a part of the affiliation, GISB will serve as an on-ground knowledge hub for the LaLiga club.

The Institute will further allocate class time for students to undertake research projects to support SD Eibar with the planning, execution and evaluation of India based programs and initiatives.

The club will facilitate SD Eibar officials to conduct football workshops for GISB students throughout the Academic year and create the opportunity for at least one deserving student to intern at the club’s front office in Eibar, Spain.
