The Academia Sporting (English: Sporting Academy) is the name given to Sporting's training facilities located outside Alcochete, Portugal.

History[]

The Sporting Academy was inaugurated in 2002 in Portugal.[citation needed]

The academy was one of the training grounds for the Portugal national football team during Euro 2004.[1] A number of European clubs choose the Sporting's Academia for training in the off-season.[citation needed] The Academy (known as the Academia de Alcochete) was renamed Sporting/Puma Academy[when?] (Academia Sporting/Puma) to reflect the sponsorship and naming contract signed by the club and the sports brand Puma in 2006; the contract lasted until 2012.

Sporting's Academy was the first sports academy in Europe to receive the ISO9001:2008.[2] – a quality certification awarded by EIC, a Portuguese anonymous society responsible for this type of reward.[3][4]

In June 2010, the Sporting signed the first contract for consultancy in sports training at the international level, with Al-Ahli Saudi Soccer Academy, from Saudi Arabia, a partnership that lasted for three years.[5]

On 15 May 2018, after Sporting finished third in the Portuguese league, several players and coaches were attacked by around 50 supporters of Sporting at the academy.[6][7][8]

On 21 September 2020, the Academy was renamed Academia Cristiano Ronaldo.[9]
