Football Camp Mpoku May 2026

A sporting and human experience imagined and created for young football enthusiasts

The Stage Mpoku Camps are football training camps organized by professional footballer Paul-José Mpoku. The goal of these camps is to help young people thrive while preparing them to pursue their dream of becoming professional football players. This initiative also contributes to the development of the region.

After 7 successful editions, we are pleased to invite you to the 8th edition of the Mpoku Camps, which will take place from Monday the 4th of May 4th to Friday the 8th of May 2026, at the brand-new Wegnez Sports Complex, located near Verviers.The address is Rue de la Paix 30, 4860 Wegnez. The camp is open to boys and girls aged 7 to 15, who already play football at club level and share a passion for the beautiful game. Places are limited.

We organize our camps two to three times a year: in spring, summer, and autumn.

Occasionally “The Stage Mpoku comes to you”, meaning we organize it in another location to allow children from different cities to participate. The Mpoku Camp this summer will take place in August 2026 at the Wegnez Sports Complex; the exact dates are still to be confirmed.

We offer four pricing options for our camps:

  1. EARLY RATE : The standard price for registration is €210, but we want to reward those who register early. We therefore offer an €11 discount for any registration completed at least one month before the start date of the camp. The Early Rate is therefore €199 per child.
  2. STANDARD RATE : This is the regular price for registration, which is €210 per child.
  3. FAMILY RATE : This discount is only granted to children from the same family, meaning brothers and/or sisters only. The more children from the same family you register, the bigger the discount. If you register two children from the same family, each child receives a €10 discount, meaning €199 per child. If you register three children from the same family, two children get a €10 discount each, and the third child receives a €15 discount.
  4. LAST-MINUTE RATE : This rate applies to any registration made during the last 8 days before the start of the camp, including the first day of the camp itself, subject to availability. The last-minute rate is €220.

If you prefer to secure your child’s place by paying a deposit, that is also possible. You can pay either the full registration fee or a deposit of €50 per child to guarantee their spot. If you choose to pay a deposit, you can settle the remaining balance on-site on the first day of the camp.

It is important to note that registrations, whether paid in full or via deposit, are only refundable upon presentation of a medical certificate.

At the payment stage, you can choose your preferred payment method: Bancontact, full bank transfer, deposit transfer, or credit card. All payment options allow you to pay either the full amount or a €50 deposit per child to secure the registration.

Message from the Founder of the Camp, Polo Mpoku

“My main motivation was to create football camps for young people in my hometown, Verviers, to pass on my advice by sharing my passion and the experience I’ve gained throughout my professional career, for the benefit of future talents.
The camps are intended for girls and boys aged 7 to 15 who love football and want to learn.
Future projects, like my upcoming Academy, will soon see the light of day in Verviers.”
