The Peña Barcelonista Nicolás Casaus in Las Palmas last month opened its skills school in association with the FCBEscola.
Thanks to an agreement with the FCBEscola, the penya have begun to start work with their own skills
school. These schools can count on the support of the Club’s official school for logistical
and human resources.
The Las Palmas supporters club organised a campus last season which was a great success in
terms of participation and that has led them to start this latest school. The academy's website is

FCBEscola and penyes, two organisations that need to unite
As was explained during the XXXIII Trobada Mundial de Penyes in Donosti, the intention of the
club is to encourage collaboration between the supporters clubs and the FCBEscola via the
organisation of official campuses. It is thus hoped that clubs will take a more active part in the
training of youngsters whilst offering younger club members attractive activities under the
umbrella of the FCBEscola.
