Ignacio Villarroel, Vice President of the Club, received the FIFA Diploma in Club Management, a certification awarded by FIFA after completing an executive training program aimed at leaders and executives of sports institutions from different countries.
The diploma was presented by the President of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, during a ceremony held in Miami, marking the end of a two-year training cycle focused on governance, administration, sustainability, and strategic club management.
The program brought together leaders, sports directors, and executives from different leagues and federations around the world, with academic sessions and in-person meetings developed in various cities in Europe, America, Asia, and the Middle East, with the objective of exchanging experiences and promoting international management standards.
Villarroel's participation reflects River's commitment to the ongoing training of its authorities and the incorporation of best international practices in institutional management. In this context, the Club continues to promote a professionalization process accompanied by infrastructure projects, international financing, and strategic development.
The FIFA Diploma in Club Management is part of initiatives by the highest football governing body to strengthen leadership and administration capacities of sports institutions through executive training programs aimed at their main authorities.
