VCF Soccer Academy in Canada expands horizons

The VCF Soccer Academy in Canada is expanding its horizons as it spreads the VCF Academy working methodology, reaching a double agreement with local club Pierrefonds SA and digital company First Touch Football.  

The deal with Pierrefonds SA will allow the VCF Soccer Academy to use the club’s facilities for training, and involves logistical assistance for the activities carried out by the academy -which, at the same time, will allow players and coaches at Pierrefonds SA to participate in training camps and summer campuses.

The VCF Soccer Academy in Canada’s agreement with First Touch Football, one of the main Digital Media and Sports Event companies in the country, aims to increase exposure and opportunities for Canadian footballers.

“We are very happy to announce these agreements and the relationship with FTF as a new partnership” explains Benoit Guglia, director of the VCF Soccer Academy in Canada.

“The main objective of the soccer programs is to spread the image and philosophy of Valencia CF throughout the world, and to bring the club’s renowned methodology to all corners of the world, to detect and develop talent.”

"The two organisations celebrate this collaboration agreement, which will increase the exposure of the players and will help to raise the profile of this fantastic programme run by the VCF Soccer Academy in Canada."
