AN UNFORGETTABLE INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE: ANDRÉS ZAVALA AND HIS JOURNEY WITH RAYO EXPERIENCE
Thanks to the agreement between Fútbol In Events and the Rayo Vallecano Academy, young Nicaraguan player Andrés Zavala was selected after his outstanding performance in the camps organized in Santo Domingo to participate in a comprehensive training experience in Spain through the Rayo Experience program.
During his time at the camp, Andrés not only showcased technical talent but also demonstrated attitude, maturity, and commitment—qualities that led him to be one of the few players awarded a scholarship to continue his development in Madrid.
⚽ PARTICIPATION IN THE MADRID YOUTH CUP AND TRAINING IN A PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT
Once in Spain, Andrés had the opportunity to compete in the Madrid Youth Cup, one of the country’s most prestigious youth tournaments. His participation allowed him to face players from various countries and experience the intensity and demands of European football firsthand. Additionally, he trained in professional facilities and engaged in routines typical of a high-level academy.
🏠 A LIFE EXPERIENCE WITH A SPANISH HOST FAMILY
Beyond football, Andrés lived with a Spanish host family, which enabled him to fully integrate into the local culture, improve his Spanish, and enhance his personal growth off the field. It was undoubtedly a transformative experience in every sense.
🌟 RAYO EXPERIENCE: MORE THAN A CAMPUS, A REAL PATHWAY TO DEVELOPMENT
Andrés Zavala’s story encapsulates the mission of Rayo Experience: to provide international youth with a genuine bridge to football development in Spain. From a local camp to an international tournament in Madrid, Andrés experienced firsthand what it means to be part of a project with vision, structure, and a commitment to nurturing talent.
At Rayo Experience, we continue to strive to open pathways for footballers worldwide so that, like Andrés, they can transform their effort and passion into an unforgettable experience.
