Liverpool FC has launched a new international football academy in Egypt.
The soccer school was officially opened in Cairo by Liverpool legend Ian Rush and members of Master Sports who will manage the day-to-day running of the academy in partnership with the club.
Over the past two years, Liverpool FC and its international partners have opened nine international academies in Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Greece, Cyprus, Indonesia, USA and St. Vincent in the Caribbean.
Managing Director of Liverpool FC Ian Ayre said: “Our international football academies connect fans around the world and provide young people with an opportunity to be trained by qualified coaches at an official Liverpool Football Club academy.
“All of our academies follow the operating model of our own academy here in Liverpool and we are excited about this latest edition in Egypt as it will also bring children together in local communities through football events and camps.”
Mohamed Hassan of Master Sports added: “It’s a great pleasure to partner Liverpool Football Club’s academy in Egypt to educate footballers to play the right way. We will never walk alone after this engagement with such a great club.”
