Tolga Zengin and Cüneyt Çakır participated in the UEFA MIP

The Execute to Master for International Players (UEFA MIP), UEFA's competition for former elite international footballers, futsal players and football personalities, is being held for the second time at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Former Turkish national goalkeeper Tolga Zengin and former FIFA-badged Turkish referee Cüneyt Çakır participated in the event, which began yesterday.

The program aims to help high-level players develop their knowledge and skills in areas such as leadership, management, and sports law, helping them transition to off-field management positions. The master's program includes Tolga Zengin and Cüneyt Çakır, as well as Bruno Alves and Simon Kjaer, former Fenerbahçe players; Omar Elabdellaoui, former Galatasaray players; Ivan Rakitic and Jan Verthongen. Footballers who complete a year of intermittent training will receive a certificate upon successful completion. Hamit Altıntop and Gökhan İnler have previously graduated from UEFA's MIP Program.
