A new international football training center to open in Guangxi

October 12, Nanning: At an opening ceremony hosted by the Provincial Sports Bureau of Guangxi (PSBG), China, a new international football training center has been announced to land in Nanning, the capital city of Guangxi Province. 

Reportedly, this center will act as the training center in China for Eredivisie side ADO Den Haag, as well as the Chinese branch of Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) football school, which was the first project undertaken by RFEF in China. 

With great support from the PSBG, this new center will be available for use after its 10-month construction deadline. This center will contain eight pitches in total – two full-sized normal pitches with the remaining six aimed at seven-a-side football. 

Five coaches from RFEF and ADO Den Haag will come to this center and take the reins of the training courses with each being responsible for 15 trainees. 

In the upcoming first term, the center will enroll 70 trainees selected from young players aging from 13 to 16 from all over China. Having received training for two or three years outstanding trainees will be sent to ADO Den Haag’s youth teams for further training. 

What is worth mentioning is that the center will be operated under a partnership between the PSBG and a Beijing-based sports company, Beijing United Vansen International Sports, which has been cooperating with RFEF for four years.
