Two alumni of the FIFA/CIES Programme in Sport Management were awarded a scholarship which will allow them to attend the 15th edition of the FIFA Master beginning in September 2014.
Following the selection process by the Scientific Committee, two alumni of the FIFA/CIES Programme in Sport Management will share the FIFA/CIES Network Scholarship. They will be able to attend the courses making up the FIFA Master (ranked n°1 Sport Management Master in the World by Sport Business International in 2014).
The lucky winners come from South America. They are:
- Sthefânia Lacerda (Fundação Getulio Vargas, Rio de Janeiro & São Paulo, Brazil)
- Rosario Cieza (Universidad Católica Argentina, Buenos Aires, Argentina)
CIES President Bertrand Reeb paid tribute to the dynamic impetus lent by the FIFA/CIES Network Scholarship to CIES activities: “We are going to welcome two new alumni. In the space of three years, seven FIFA/CIES Programme alumni have benefited from a scholarship to attend the FIFA Master. What a success! It goes without saying that this is a source of satisfaction and motivation for all the members of the FIFA/CIES Network, whether programme directors, module heads, CIES coordinators, teachers, students or alumni.”
The selection of two alumni shows the quality of the profiles of students who attend the FIFA/CIES Programme and the excellent work done by the sixteen partner universities of the FIFA/CIES Network.
Granting these scholarships also illustrates the commitment of CIES to build bridges between its different training programmes in order to open horizons and enrich the academic prospects of students.
Our warmest congratulations to Sthefânia and Rosario. We wish them every success in Leicester, Milan and Neuchâtel!
