Top English Premier
League side Liverpool on 16 October 2013 launched a residential football
academy in Pune in partnership with city-based DSK Shivajians FC. The academy
was named as LFC International Football Academy DSK.
This is the first
time an English football club has partnered with an Indian team to help them
bring through local talent.
The academy will
support young footballers up to the age of 18. It will provide the players with
the opportunity to develop their game in a professional academy environment.
Coaches from
Liverpool FC will work on the project in India and will provide technical
expertise to the players and coaches involved in the Academy. Over time, more
full time coaches will come from Liverpool FC to oversee each age group players
at the Academy.
