Johan Cruyff Institute renews its collaboration with TRAM Barcelona Open 2022 by providing two full scholarships to study the Online Postgraduate Diploma in Sport Management
The best international wheelchair tennis players will face each other at the Real Club de Polo de Barcelona from May 18 to 22 on the occasion of the TRAM Barcelona Open 2022, the biggest adapted sports event organized in Barcelona, which reaches its fifth edition in 2022. The tournament will continue to count on the collaboration of Johan Cruyff Institute, which will award two full scholarships to study the Online Postgraduate Diploma in Sport Management among all interested participants.
The draw will bring together 48 participants from 16 different countries and will feature the top three ranked players in the men’s category, the top seven in the women’s category, and the number one in the Quad category. The line-up demonstrates not only the consolidation of the tournament on the international adapted tennis circuit, but also the great success of its organization.
This is an event that was born in the classrooms of Johan Cruyff Institute, as the final project of José Coronado‘s Master in Sport Management Blended Barcelona. For the founder and director of the TRAM Barcelona Open “it is a dream to be in the fifth edition of the tournament. Never in the history of the ITF circuit has a second category tournament had this level of participation. This gives us strength and puts us in a position to be able to join the highest international category in 2023. Thanks to our main sponsor, TRAM, to the institutional support of the Barcelona City Council, to the organizing entity, Step by Step, and to all the collaborators for making this possible.”
Free tickets
The tournament will once again count on the collaboration of the media to bring adapted tennis to the general public, with both finals being broadcast on the regional channel Esport3 and, for the first time, also on national broadcaster RTVE’s sport channel Teledeporte.
In addition, all those who want to come to the Real Club de Polo de Barcelona to experience the competition live will be able to do so free of charge. Free tickets are available from the tournament website until full capacity is reached.
In addition to being a great sporting spectacle, the TRAM Barcelona Open promotes the social inclusion of people with functional diversity through the values of adapted sport. The organizers believe in the need to build a fairer, more humane and more environmentally friendly society by working, in parallel to sporting competition, to develop projects that promote these objectives. Academic training is one of them. Mariël Koerhuis, general manager of Johan Cruyff Institute, will present the two scholarships for the Online Postgraduate Diploma in Sport Management at the official dinner of the tournament on Saturday evening.
