The winning team will receive a dedicated five-day training program in Singapore, led by City coaches who will use the same methodologies and techniques that the City first team experiences to prepare for each game. Selected players will also be selected to attend City’s ‘Performance Program’ training camp in Manchester during the summer months.
Mr Lim Teck Yin, CEO Sport Singapore, said: “We are excited about Manchester City’s developmental activities in Singapore as it offers our youth opportunities to gain more exposure and play with people of different backgrounds. Football is a sport with mass appeal and alongside other team sports, imbues the values of teamwork and discipline. Most importantly, these young players get to meet new friends and create valuable shared memories. We welcome all to join us in playing or supporting friends and family members.”
