FICO and Chelsea Foundation have launched a joint initiative to bring financial literacy education to UK teens for the first time. The partnership hosted its inaugural event at Stamford Bridge on June 12th, the first of three planned events, with 175 students participating. Students worked in teams to manage a simulated professional soccer club's budget and balance sheet, learning about operational costs, player salaries, and expenses. The day concluded with financial strategy presentations judged on financial decisions, teamwork, and communication, followed by a stadium tour and a meeting with Chelsea FC Legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
