Programme Facilities
The International Football Group in partnership with Macclesfield FC & UCLan.
Everything you need to develop
From a professional stadium and elite all-weather pitches to a dedicated gym, university campus and modern student halls — our environment is built to develop the complete athlete, on and off the pitch.
Athletic & academic fusion
Macclesfield Football Club's facilities have undergone a remarkable transformation, with over £4m invested in the stadium over the last two years — making it the most sought-after venue in the local area. The all-weather 4G surface ensures that training sessions and games are unaffected by the elements all year round. Beyond the field, athletes have access to the Stealth Gym, a fitness facility tailored to meet the demands of modern footballers.
Meanwhile, at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), aspiring footballers are greeted with an array of exceptional facilities designed to foster both athletic and academic excellence. The crown jewel of UCLan's offerings is the Sir Tom Finney Sports Centre, named in honour of the legendary footballer, while the UCLan Sports Arena provides an expansive platform to refine skills and compete at the highest level — seamlessly integrating sports training with academic pursuits.
University student halls
At UCLan, the accommodation experience is designed to offer students a sense of belonging and support — particularly for those venturing away from home for the first time.
Residing in university accommodation fosters a unique sense of community, where students become part of a vibrant and inclusive environment. From the moment they step into their new homes, residents are greeted with a plethora of events and activities, creating opportunities to connect with peers and engage in memorable experiences.
The friendly and dedicated Residences Team is always available to provide assistance and guidance, ensuring students feel welcomed and settled from day one — free to focus on their studies and personal growth while forging lasting friendships within the vibrant UCLan community.
