Soccer World China Partners With Man City
Manchester City has partnered with events organisation Soccer World China on a two-year deal.
As part of the deal, joint branding will appear across Soccer World’s sport centres in China and Manchester City will also send coaches to help train children.
The organisation will also run competitions for talented young footballers to go to the Manchester club to receive training and education at the Etihad Campus.
Soccer World China chief executive Fan Chengen said: “Youth training in the Chinese soccer industry leaves a lot to be desired.
“China is not lacking in young talent, but such fine institutions such as the Chinese soccer clubs are not doing a good job. That is why we want to work with Manchester City.”
Manchester City is part of a string of clubs who are looking for growth in China, with Arsenal and Liverpool announcing deals in the region.
