A new season, a bigger group, and the most ambitious calendar in IFG's history.
Welcome to the first newsletter of the 2025/26 season. It has been a remarkable start across every part of the group, with new students arriving from more countries than ever and our programmes operating at full capacity.
A Growing Group
This season’s intake spans Europe, North America and beyond. Our university programme with the University of Lancashire continues to grow, opening new pathways for players seeking international experience.
On the Pitch
Macclesfield FC's National League North campaign is under way, and our shadow and development squads have started strongly. Several students have already trained with the first team — exactly the kind of progression the programme is built to create.
We will be sharing match reports, player features and behind-the-scenes films throughout the season. Thank you for being part of the IFG journey.
