Madrid coaches in port city
Aiming to support healthy growth of children through sports, a three-day Kids Football Clinic kicked off in the port city's MA Aziz Stadium yesterday, under supervision of the world famous coaches of Real Madrid Foundation.
As part of their corporate social responsibility, YKK Holding Asia and YKK Bangladesh have jointly organised the clinic, where a total of 300 underprivileged and orphaned children of Chittagong and 30 local coaches are getting opportunity to acquire knowledge and learn techniques from the coaches of the Real Madrid Foundation.
Real Madrid Foundation's head coach and Team Camps Technical Director Pablo Gomez Revenga, Javier Garcia Torres and Rafael Palacios Ruiz-Peinado are conducting the clinic, the first of its kind in the city.
At a press conference held at a local hotel in Chittagong, Pablo Gomez Revenga gave appreciation to the organisers for the opportunity for them to conduct the clinic in Bangladesh.
“Though Chittagong is far from our city (Spain), it made me feel good that people here know Real Madrid and appreciate and enjoy its matches and playing style. Only four or five sessions of a clinic are not enough to learn all techniques of football, but the clinic will help attract children to football and help them to learn values such as teamwork and commitment, which will help in their future,” said Pablo.
Kosuke Miimi, president and CEO of YKK Bangladesh Pte. Ltd, hoped the clinic would help introduce the kids to the modern skills of football.
YKK Regional Manager Alson NG and Bangladesh Football Federation Technical Director Kazi Altaful Huq also spoke on the occasion.
