Why FC Goa has partnered with German club RB Leipzig

Indian Super League club FC Goa forged a three-year strategic partnership with Bundesliga giants RB Leipzig.

The partnership is aimed at garnering opportunities both in the football and business spheres for both clubs.

RB Leipzig, formed in 2009, reached the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League semi-final. The club has worked its way up the league structure and within a period of 7 years secured promotion to the Bundesliga by 2016 and a season later, in 2017-18 ensured a place in the UEFA Champions League.

The primary focus of the partnership will be Youth Development.

During this period of collaboration, coaches from RB Leipzig’s Academy will be welcomed to Goan shores to impart knowledge via workshops. FC Goa will also be sending coaches and players from the club’s youth set-up for further training and learning the intricacies of the game at RB Leipzig’s Youth Academy.

The Gaurs and The Red Bulls will work in tandem not only to help each other to grow internationally, but also for the development of football in India. The partnership will see both clubs launch a nationwide Soccer Camp programme. The FC Goa National Soccer Camps, both online and offline, supported by RB Leipzig will make superior footballing skills & knowledge accessible to all football enthusiasts across India.
