Morris Elite and Naples Elite Announces Exclusive Partnership with WIMS and Atlético Madrid for International Stage Tour

Madison, NJ 10/2/2024: Morris Elite and Naples Elite are thrilled to announce an exclusive partnership with WIMS and Atlético Madrid, offering our players an exceptional opportunity to participate in a high-level international stage tour in Madrid, Spain. This exciting inaugural experience is set to take place from March 8th to 17th, 2025, and is open to our boys born between 2010 and 2013. Future plans include expanding the tour to our women’s teams and additional age groups in the coming seasons.

During the tour, players will receive top-tier training from UEFA Licensed Atlético Madrid Academy coaches, focusing on enhancing their tactical understanding and technical skills through specialized team sessions and methodology masterclasses. The players will also compete in matches against official Atlético Madrid Academy teams, providing a unique chance to gain invaluable experience and exposure to elite-level competition.

Beyond the pitch, participants will live the ‘day in the life’ of a professional youth Atlético Madrid player, staying at the club’s official dormitories, following the same nutritional regimen, and receiving training from the club’s official academy coaching staff.

The tour will also include enriching experiences beyond the pitch for our parents, featuring guided tours of Madrid, visits to iconic museums, wine tastings, and much more. This partnership not only emphasizes our commitment to continued development on the field but also fosters a sense of community and cultural appreciation among our families.

"We are incredibly excited to offer this unique experience to our players and their families," said Vincenzo Bernardo, President Morris & Naples Elite. "Partnering with WIMS and Atlético Madrid opens doors to world-class training and unforgettable memories. We believe this opportunity will inspire our players as athletes while providing a cultural experience with exploring a different country."

“We take pride in the work we do here at WIMS, focusing not on the touristic attractions these tours can provide, but strongly emphasizing the player developmental side of things,” said Ethan Kim, CEO at WIMS.

“We ensure that each program is specially tailored to the unique needs of every club. After months of preparations and meetings with Vincenzo and Alejandro (Director at Atlético Madrid), we are confident that this experience will offer players a genuine glimpse into the world of Spanish football and serve as a key factor in their overall development process.”
