What FUTEC does

FUTEC (Centro de Estudios del Fútbol de la Federación Peruana de Fútbol, FPF) is the official football education center of the Peruvian Football Federation, founded in 2018 and operationally launched in 2019. It is wholly owned by FPF and headquartered at Av. Canadá No. 2129, San Luis, Lima. FUTEC is the only institution in Peru with CONMEBOL's official endorsement for coach formation, and it serves as the sole entity ratified by FPF for academic training of football coaches, physical trainers, and futsal coaches operating in Peruvian federated competitions.

The company's core product is a tiered licensing portfolio organized into three tracks: football coaching (Licencias C, A, PRO), physical training (Licencias B and A), and futsal coaching (Licencias B and A). Programs are delivered semi-presencial (blended), combining virtual synchronous/asynchronous learning through a Moodle-based Campus FUTEC platform (built with technology partner SEIDOR) with mandatory in-person sessions. Pricing ranges from approximately S/1,000 to S/10,000 per program, with installment financing of 3-6 cuotas. Supporting products include specialization courses for license renewal, a digital license issuance and renewal system (launched January 2026 by FPF), foreign credential habilitations, and the FIFA Guardians safeguarding program offered free in partnership with Open University.

FUTEC's commercial model is built on three revenue streams: one-time program fees (the largest), recurring subscriptions via FUTEC LAB (launched July 2025 with Coaches' Voice at $80-$100 USD/year for access to 500+ training sessions and 100+ masterclasses), and administrative fees for license issuance, renewal, diplomas, and habilitations. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via futec.pe with WhatsApp and email support, supplemented by FPF's institutional channels and regional football league partnerships supporting a decentralization initiative that has extended in-person sessions to six regions beyond Lima beginning with Chiclayo and Áncash. Content alliances with Chelsea, Valencia, and Arsenal academies (via Coaches' Voice) and a 150-hour FIFA trainer certification program led by FIFA Technical Expert Maurício Marques reinforce the institutional positioning.

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Coerver Coaching: International football coaching education provider with proprietary curricula and instructor certification programs. Overlaps with FUTEC's coaching education mission but is a private, commercial entity rather than a federation-affiliated institution.

Direct peers

• Coaches' Voice: Global football coaching education platform that is FUTEC's exclusive content partner for FUTEC LAB. Provides the 500+ training sessions and masterclasses from elite coaches; operates both as a B2B content provider and a direct-to-coach subscription platform competing for the same coach audience.
• FFF - Direction Technique Nationale (France): French Football Federation's DTN issues the BEF (Brevet d'Entraîneur de Football) and UEFA-aligned licenses through its national coaching schools. Another European federation peer with comparable tiered licensing structure.
• DFB - Fußball-Lehrer / Coach Licensing (Germany): German Football Association runs the Fußball-Lehrer training and UEFA Pro Licence preparation. Same national-federation coach education model as FUTEC, operating in the European/UEFA ecosystem.
• Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) - Escuela Nacional de Entrenadores: Spanish national football federation runs the Escuela Nacional de Entrenadores, which issues the official UEFA-aligned coach licenses from base to professional levels. Direct functional analog to FUTEC, the only difference being the Spanish market is in UEFA rather than CONMEBOL.
• AFA - Escuela de Técnicos (Argentina): Argentine Football Association's Escuela de Técnicos issues CONMEBOL-aligned coach licenses (C, B, A, PRO) under the same convention FUTEC operates. Closest geographic and structural peer, also serving a CONMEBOL member country with semipresencial delivery.
• The Football Association (FA) - England Coach Education: English FA runs the FA Coaching Licence pathway (Level 1 through UEFA A and Pro Licence), the most established and internationally recognized national federation coach education system. Functional and structural analog operating at much larger scale.
• CBF Academy - Confederação Brasileira de Futebol: Brazilian Football Confederation's coaching education arm offers the same CONMEBOL license tiers. Largest South American competitor and scale benchmark given the size of Brazil's football workforce.

Regional players

• United Soccer Coaches: U.S.-based coaching association (formerly NSCAA) that provides coaching education, diplomas, and credentials across the American soccer landscape. Comparable mission and product mix but operates in a different geographic and regulatory environment than FUTEC.

Others

• CONMEBOL - Unidad de Desarrollo: South American football confederation that sets the Licensing Convention FUTEC operates under. Acts as regulator and standards body, indirectly shaping FUTEC's curriculum, license tiers, and competition-access rules.
