ĐÀ NẴNG — Toni Claveria, director of projects for Barcelona football school in Asia and Oceania (FCBEscola), paid a working visit to SHB Đà Nẵng to discuss constructing an academy in the central city.

A source from SHB Đà Nẵng said yesterday that a FCBEscola representative visited SHB Đà Nẵng’s football training centre and the new 20,000-seat Hòa Xuân Stadium and witnessed a SHB Đà Nẵng’s youth team training session in Liên Chiểu District.

Claveria was impressed with SHB Đà Nẵng’s facilities and hoped for future co-operation between FCBEscola and the Đà Nẵng team.

FCBEscola is the school model of FC Barcelona, exported internationally with the aim of extending the Barcelona brand to the world.

Đà Nẵng will use its new stadium, which cost US$10.3 million, for the 2017-18 season.

Đà Nẵng team, who won the V.League championship in 1992, 2009 and 2012, finished fourth last year. — VNS
