Abstract: Football is the most popular sport in the world with millions of practitioners and enthusiasts spread everywhere, including universities. It is played by 250 million players in over 200 countries. Along its popularity the rivalry among competitors increased, so in our days the training program became more intense and divers. In addition to their regular technical training on the field, the elite players also follow a fitness and conditioning routine which are including different components of fitness involved in this sport such as: endurance, strength, speed, power, agility, flexibility and nutrition. Technical and athletic training are both integral parts of a complete football development program. With the way the game has evolved today the players cannot stay competitive without taking the physical conditioning seriously. Once it’s introduced this complete training program to the players, the feedback is an immediate improvement in their game.
