Didier Deschamps cut him from France’s 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, citing “a difficult season with injuries and few appearances”. Any other footballer would have stayed home stewing in frustration.
Eduardo Camavinga, 23 years old and a Real Madrid midfielder, did something completely different: he packed his bags and went to Boston. His destination was Harvard Business School, where he enrolled in the BEMS program (The Business of Entertainment, Media, and Sports).
He posted the photos to his Instagram — where more than 15 million people follow him — with a message that says it all: “A few days learning, listening, and growing. Grateful for the experience”.
While his teammates warm up for the June 16 debut against Senegal at MetLife Stadium, Camavinga is in a classroom at the most famous university in the world learning to build his future. On and off the pitch. 🔥
