Day in the Life of a Footballer – Our Educational Stadium Tour Experiences are here to teach students the inner workings of a Premier League football club. Led by a trained guide, school groups will be toured around the Etihad Stadium paying special attention to areas that relate to their chosen subject. Each experience is carefully tailored to ensure it is suitable to each group.

Suitable for Science Key Stages 2-4 and PE Key Stage 3

During the stadium tour, the class will learn about the schedule of a player on matchday, from the moment they wake up, through to going home, as well as learning about what they do to prepare on the days prior to a game and how they recover.

The trained tour guides will give the inside knowledge on preparation, fitness, diet, performance analysis, training and nutrition in areas that are used by the players.

Free resources are also provided to support learning before and after the visit with comprehensive lesson plans, worksheets, and accompanying PowerPoint slides.
