The Barça Academy Pro is located around twenty minute from Mission Hills Centreville within the 22 sqkm Mission Hills Haikou resort. The six training pitches has the capacity for a thousand athletes. According to Mission Hills, 5,000 young people from Haikou city have been trained by coaches from the Barça Academy to promote football in local schools.
FC Barcelona Board Member Didac Lee says that Barça is working with the intention of having the first team visit the Haikou facilities during the 2019 summer tour they have scheduled for China and Japan as a part of their globalization and brand global expansion plan.
