Italian Serie A club Juventus have chosen Shanghai as the location for their first Juventus Academy in China.
The fact that the Chinese government has made football part of the school curriculum and set an objective of opening 20,000 football schools around the country by 2020 makes this the perfect opportunity to further develop the Juventus Academy project, with the support of local representatives and Juventus Football Club itself.
The Juventus Academy project will convey the values and the very essence of how Juventus intend to teach football to young people in China.
The Shanghai Juventus Academy is Juventus’ first outpost in China, with an initial cohort of 150 youngsters participating in its programmes and activities. The Academy will be open to children of between 5 and 14 years of age.
In Shanghai, coaches from Italy will be present to lead the activities, including workshops and training sessions for local instructors.
All in all, the far-reaching project aims to accommodate over 1,000 youngsters within three years.
The first Juventus Academy in China will be located in an innovative sports centre to be built in the coming months. It will feature over seven pitches – including one indoors – as well as leisure areas. Training activities are expected to begin in September.
