Yongin FC U17 enjoyed a week-long international training experience with Sevilla FC. From September 15 to 22, the South Korean delegation took part in the Players Academy programme, experiencing a comprehensive sporting and educational schedule in Seville.
During their stay, the players took part in morning training sessions alongside Sevilla FC Academy coaches, gaining first-hand insight into the club’s training methodology and the daily work of its youth teams.
The experience also included several friendly matches against Sevilla FC Juvenil C and Sevilla D, with the latter providing an opportunity to share the pitch with the international players involved in the High Performance Career Program.
Beyond training sessions and competition, the delegation also had the opportunity to enjoy one of the highlights of their stay in Seville: attending the match between Sevilla FC and FC Barcelona, experiencing professional football at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium.
An experience also for goalkeeper coaches.
The educational experience was not limited to the players. The two goalkeeper coaches accompanying the delegation also took advantage of their stay to complete an internship with Sevilla FC’s Goalkeeping Department.
Throughout these days, they gained first-hand insight into the specialised work carried out with the club’s academy goalkeepers, exchanged knowledge with the department’s coaches and observed different training sessions.
In this way, Yongin FC U17’s visit provided an international educational experience for both players and coaches, combining methodology, competition, knowledge exchange and an insight into Sevilla FC’s sporting structure.
A week in which football became a meeting point between South Korea and Seville, strengthening the international dimension of the club’s training programmes.
