Barcelona strike out for China with mega Mission Hills academy project
December 6 – FC Barcelona is taking its academy blueprint to China and is backing the build of a facility at the world’s biggest golf resort, Mission Hills, on China’s Hainan Island, near Hong Kong.
The new football complex will become a training centre for China’s national team and top clubs as well as housing up to 1,000 junior footballers – hot-housing youth development in a bid to breed a new generation of Chinese “national heroes”.
