UCFB partners with Rising Ballers and She’s A Baller  

Elite football education links up with two market leaders in football media and culture. 
 
The University Campus of Football Business (UCFB) is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Rising Ballers, the UK’s leading media platform and global creative agency for emerging football talent and youth culture. As part of the new collaboration, UCFB will also partner with Rising Ballers’ sister brand, She’s A Baller, the platform championing the women’s game. 

With millions of online social media followers and having worked with some of the biggest names in sport, Rising Ballers and She’s A Baller unite with UCFB to provide a fantastic opportunity for our students.  

Those joining UCFB, or returning this September, can look forward to not only guest speaker sessions from the Rising Ballers team, but also work placement opportunities to gain real sports industry experience alongside their studies at UCFB. 

Both Rising Ballers and She’s A Baller are well established and respected football media brands and are shaping the conversation around football. With a digital audience of millions and a reputation for authentic, high-impact storytelling, the Rising Ballers and She’s A Baller brands are excellently positioned to provide UCFB’s aspiring students with valuable insight into the industry. The partnership also shines a light on UCFB’s unique academic offering in football and sport. 

“UCFB is not just a place to study — it’s a launchpad for future leaders in football and sport. Partnering with Rising Ballers and She’s A Baller allows us to tell that story and gain insights into the latest football and youth culture,” said Nick Wilkinson, UCFB’s Director of Student Recruitment. 

Eni Shabani, Founder and Director at Rising Ballers & She’s A Baller said: “It’s great to be able to partner our brands with a prestigious learning entity like UCFB. We hope that this mutual partnership will help to both inspire the next generation of those wanting to work in football while diversifying the opportunities available to students once they complete their studies” 

In addition to their already impressive list of industry partners, Rising Ballers and She’s A Baller will now support the efforts of UCFB in upskilling their cohorts, delivering expert sessions and offering opportunities for students to gain real life exposure and experience in the industry.
