Beijing Guoan launches first campus football base

The Chinese Super League (CSL) outfit Beijing Sinobo Guoan F.C., as part of its partnership with Beijing Langyue Youth Football Club, has named Beijing Sanlitun No.1 Middle School as its first campus football training base.

Beijing Langyue is a youth football training club founded by Guoan legends Nan Fang and Liu Jianjun in 2007. Under their agreement, the training club will help Beijing Guoan in building its Under-12 and Under-11 academy teams, while Guoan will provide financial support, software and hardware technology as well as professional trainers for the base.

The CSL club said it will make Beijing its long-term home, starting from this partnership and expanding its youth training business in local schools in the future.

Guoan has devoted itself to youth training from the start of 2017, with plans of Under-14 and Under-15 academy teams and Shunyi Training Base. At the same time, the CSL club has also introduced smart training devices and experienced foreign coaches into its youth training plans.

As of now, Guoan has created a three-level youth training plan, which enables the football club to nurture young players in its Shunyi training base, co-branded local academies and professional training agencies.
