Alongside these accomplished athletes, notable figures such as César Azpilicueta, the prominent Chelsea FC star; Eniola Aluko, a former women’s footballer-turned-pundit; and Pakistani cricketers, Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam, among others, also joined the classroom.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Azpilicueta took to Instagram to share his reasons for choosing this program.
