Inter are to soon launch their fourth academy in China as part of their Inter Academy project in the country of the clubs owners Suning.
The academy is to be based in Chengdu, the capital of the Sichuan province where the other three academies are based. Chengdu is around 1800 kilometres from China’s capital Beijing and little under 1700 kilometres away from Suning’s headquarters in Nanjing.
Vice president Javier Zanetti , chief of revenue Michael Gandler, director of youth Barbara Biggi and Inter academy technical director Marco Monti will be present at the upcoming ceremony.

The academy further highlights Inter and Suning’s desire to grow Chinese football culture as well as players and coaches. Moreover, Suning are aiming to to promote the development of young players in China.
