Inter Academy in Brazil to announce Base Brasil project

 

Inter have announced today the creation of Inter Academy Base Brasil from the famous Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro. It will be developed in partnership with World Wide Soccer Academy who run a network of 27 football schools throughout Brazil.

Inter’s director of partnerships, Barbara Biggi had this to say:

“We have launched plans for a very ambitious project, focusing on the development of around 8,000 young players. Under the tutelage of our coaches from the youth academy, the youngsters will develop as footballers and people. The best players will also have the chance to become a part of our Elite Academy at the National Training Center in Barueri (Sao Paulo).”

It was then the turn of the technical director of Inter Academy, Marco Monti to take to the stage:

“Inter Academy operates all over the world, with five projects which see the club active in Japan, China, the United States, Saudi Arabia and now Brazil. The aim is to disseminate the Nerazzurri academy’s footballing philosophy by training local coaches who can then in turn develop and improve their young players. What’s unique about the project is that we have one of our coaches in every location to foster the youngsters’ development in their social surroundings and coordinate the training methodology.”

Finally, Inter vice president Javier Zanetti spoke on the project:

“The history of our club shows how we always focus on developing young players. The constant growth of Inter Academy, now running in Brazil too, is a clear example of that. This experience will allow us to share the values and principles which have always defined F.C. Internazionale.”
