By linking with FB Barcelona, MILO Philippines looks to help build the dreams of kids by providing them access to the world-class coaching and venues, and inspiring them to be physically active and healthy. The global partnership was first announced in November 2016 and since then, MILO Philippines become the official cocoa malt beverage of FC Barcelona. With the integration of FC Barcelona, MILO Philippines will continue to grow and support its grassroots sports programs while leveraging on the culture and values unique to the club.
This year, MILO Philippines will be sending a team of 10 kids to participate in an international training camp to be held in Camp Nou. More than that the skill level, the players will also be chosen according to the MILO and FC Barcelona values they exemplify. The selection criteria puts importance on the right mix of values (60%) and skill (40%) exhibited by these young athletes through the sport. FC Barcelona prides itself with five principal values that are aligned with the spirit of MILO's brand essence of nourishing ambitions and these are humility, effort, ambition, respect, and teamwork.
Local selection camp will be happening on September 2 to 3 at the McKinley Hill Stadium in Taguig City. Two deserving members of the team will be granted an all-expense paid trip in recognition of the skills and values they espouse. While MILO and FC barcelona will be granting the two kids an opportunity they would otherwise never have imagined, to train with international pros for one of the world's most prestigious sports organization, the remaining eight will be chosen based on the local camp ranking system.
Over the next four years, there will be key initiatives from the brand and football club to energize kids both locally and globally. Tournaments, special trainings, and merchandising efforts are among the many plans in store for the different MILO markets worldwide.
