Sevilla FC brought the 9th and 10th editions of the Master’s Degree in Big Data Applied to Football Scouting<\/strong> to a close with two enriching days in which education, knowledge sharing and networking took centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme began on Wednesday<\/strong> at the Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00f3n Cisneros Palacios Training Ground<\/strong>, where students enjoyed a guided tour of the club’s facilities, gaining first-hand insight into the daily operations of Sevilla FC’s renowned academy.

On Thursday<\/strong>, the closing ceremony moved to the Ram\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez-Pizju\u00e1n Stadium<\/strong>, where attendees began the day with a guided Sevilla FC Stadium Tour<\/strong> before the academic programme got underway.

The winning team presented its project remotely, while the runners-up received official Sevilla FC gifts in recognition of their outstanding work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a networking break, which gave students, lecturers and industry professionals the opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences, David S\u00e1ez<\/strong> delivered a masterclass on personal branding<\/strong>, providing valuable advice and practical tools to help aspiring analysts build their professional careers within the football industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme of presentations concluded with Eduardo Valera<\/strong>, Data Analyst in Sporting Management \u2013 Sporting Innovation at Sevilla FC<\/strong>, who explained how analysts present their findings to the Sporting Directors. His session focused on the preparation of scouting reports and the key aspects that support effective decision-making within a professional football club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event concluded with one of its most memorable moments: the presentation of diplomas and graduation sashes<\/strong> to the students of the Master’s Degree in Big Data Applied to Football Scouting<\/strong>. The ceremony was led by Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Cruz Gallardo<\/strong>, Head of R&D&I at Sevilla FC<\/strong>, alongside David S\u00e1ez<\/strong>, CEO of Sports Data Campus, and Miguel \u00c1ngel del Barrio<\/strong>, Director of Programmes and Projects at Sports Data Campus, who congratulated the graduates on their achievements and wished them every success in their future careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
