International Football Development
Welcome to the Bolton Wanderers International Football Development Programme.
Our aim is to bring footballing excellence to the global football family by sharing knowledge, creating opportunities and developing talent.
Formed in 1874, Bolton Wanderers is a founder member of the Football League – a club steeped in history, heritage and a deep love and understanding of the beautiful game.
Our International Football Development Programme is exclusively delivered by qualified and skilled Bolton Wanderers coaches, who possess the passion and ability to bring that knowledge to the rest of the world.
A multi-strand programme, we can accommodate international groups at the home of the Wanderers and also facilitate education programmes on the ground in locations across the world.
And now, we are actively seeking to establish new links with clubs that want to tap into this knowledge, capitalise on this fantastic opportunity and create lasting and fruitful partnerships.
