Geylang International FC (Geylang International) and City Football Group (CFG) have formalised a collaboration agreement that is set to contribute to the further development of the Singapore-based club. It also marks CFG’s first collaboration with a football club in Southeast Asia.
The agreement is set to be an initial, highly targeted collaboration between both entities with the potential to evolve into a broader, more comprehensive strategic partnership in the future.
This unprecedented commitment in Geylang International’s history will enable the Club to start tapping into CFG’s football expertise, know-how, technology, and best practices, allowing the Club to improve its structure and operations.
Geylang International is already benefiting from the access to CFG’s network, as the recruitment of Japanese attacker Yushi Yamaya – announced last week as a key signing of Geylang International for the upcoming 2023 SPL season – was supported by CFG. A former academy player of Yokohama F. Marinos – J-League champions and part of the CFG family – Yamaya was scouted by CFG’s Group Football Operations department, following a detailed brief provided by Geylang International’s coaching staff.
Among other specific initiatives contemplated within the collaboration agreement, CFG will also help develop the club’s technical and management expertise through practical learning experiences at clubs within CFG’s global network.
