About ESBS European Sport Business School

Discover ESBS – The European Sport Business School

At ESBS, we believe that sport is more than what we see on TV. It is a global industry full of opportunity, transformation, and innovation. 

Founded in Valencia, Spain and now part of ACE Education Group, ESBS (European Sport Business School) is a higher education institution that prepares future leaders in sport management through a practical, international, and industry-connected learning experience.

Who We Are

ESBS is a specialized business school fully dedicated to sport management. With over 15 years of experience, we have developed a strong reputation for academic excellence, industry relevance, and international partnerships. Our programs are designed to meet the needs of a fast-evolving sports industry, offering students the tools, network, and mindset to thrive professionally.

We are proud to be an academic partner of Valencia CF, one of Spain’s most important football clubs. This partnership brings exceptional value to our programs, offering our students real-world insights, case studies, and exclusive access to professionals working at the highest levels of sport.

Our Programs

ESBS offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Sport Management in both Spanish and English, including our flagship Master in International Sport Management, available in Valencia, and online. Our academic content is tailored to reflect the global nature of the industry, with a strong focus on innovation, entrepreneurship, digital transformation, and sustainability in sport.

Our students are guided by industry professionals and academic experts who bring a wealth of practical knowledge to the classroom. In addition to core management subjects—such as marketing, sponsorship, operations, and leadership—we emphasize soft skills, intercultural awareness, and hands-on experience.

Our Methodology

We believe learning goes far beyond the classroom. At ESBS, our students can gain real experience through internships, volunteering, live projects with sports organizations, and international experiences.

From collaborating with LaLiga clubs to volunteering at major international events such as the the Olympic Games, UEFA competitions, or the Chicago Marathon, our students are exposed to the inner workings of the sports ecosystem. We also host regular masterclasses, networking events, and visits to sport organizations that allow students to connect directly with professionals and build their network.

Through our extensive partner network, we offer our students a global view of the sports industry. Whether studying in Spain or completing an exchange or internship abroad, ESBS students become part of an international learning community.

Our Campuses: Valencia, Madrid, and Online

We offer our programs across two key cities in Spain—Valencia and Madrid—both rich in sport culture and opportunity. Our Valencia campus is located inside the iconic stadium of Mestalla, offering a unique atmosphere and direct link with the world of professional sport. Our Madrid campus, located in one of the most dynamic capitals in Europe, provides access to Spain’s top sport companies and institutions.

For students who prefer flexibility, our online Master in International Sport Management allows them to combine professional or personal commitments with high-quality learning, without borders.

An International and Diverse Community

ESBS is home to a diverse and multicultural student body. We welcome students from all over the world who share a passion for sport and a desire to make a difference in the industry. This international atmosphere enhances classroom discussions, group projects, and networking opportunities.

Our faculty also reflects this diversity, with lecturers and guest speakers from Spain, Europe, the Americas, and beyond. At ESBS, students are not only prepared for local jobs, but for international careers.
