LaLiga Santander: Atlético opens an academy in Israel in partnership with Hapoel Beer Sheva FC

Club Atlético de Madrid (LaLiga Santander) have announced the opening of a new academy in Be'er-Sheva (Israel), in partnership with Hapoel Be'er Sheva FC (Ligat Ha'Al, Israeli first division), on 27/06/2018.

"This long-term project will allow the members from our academy to implement the Atlético way in Beer Sheva. This will also allow us to interchange cultures through football and share our values with Hapoel Beer Sheva FC, such as hard work, teamwork and never giving up. A new academy base will reinforce the Israeli club's youth system, which will allow Hapoel Beer Sheva to increase the amount of youth players in the first team," said Atlético de Madrid.

"The main objective is that this academy is open to people of all religions and cultures, we want to integrate everyone through a common project, based on the values of sport," said Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, CEO of Atlético de Madrid, whose coaches will be sent to the site to take charge of the sporting part of the project.
