A school at the stadium!
For the first time in Europe, a school is opening its doors in a permanent residence in a sports stadium. ESG Sport (Galileo Global Education Group) will be opening its doors this Monday at the Matmut ATLANTIQUE.
The Galileo Global Education group and SBA signed a partnership agreement in the spring for a minimum of three years. The move was prompted by the City and Metropolitan authorities. The ESG's ambition is to become firmly rooted in the Bordeaux region and to bring together all those involved in sport: clubs, federations, equipment suppliers and sports companies.
A school year at Matmut ATLANTIQUE
Over the academic year, 150 students will take courses at the Matmut ATLANTIQUE in sports management, sports marketing and sports events, taught by professionals.
The training courses will be given in the spaces usually dedicated to the production of concerts or other major events.
Loic Duroselle, Chairman of SBA : "We are delighted to welcome ESG Sport to our facilities. It's another illustration of the dynamism of the stadium's teams, which I'd like to thank, and of its openness to the region beyond the major sporting and cultural events. Bridges will be built between the school and our company so that students can better understand their future profession. I would like to wish the students and management of ESG every success as the new sports year gets underway. »
Yvan Perrière, Director of ESG Sport : "We are delighted to be able to welcome our first intake of ESG Sport students to this iconic venue, Le Matmut ATLANTIQUE. We have always been keen to establish ourselves in local areas to meet the employment needs of the industries for which we train our students. Today we are working hand in hand with the SBA teams, and now our students, to promote the world of sport in the Bordeaux area. »
