After Monterrey, FC Porto opened its second Dragon Force school in Mexico, this time in the capital, Mexico City. Miguel Layún, the Dragons’ former full-back, is the ambassador of this new unit, launched in partnership with Highlands International School.

“For me, it is very special to be part of this project with FC Porto, a club that had a huge impact on my career and represents excellence in youth development. We want to create real opportunities for young Mexicans to grow in a competitive, educational environment with strong values. This is just the beginning of a journey that we believe can create new opportunities for youth football in Mexico,” said the former player.

Also present at the new school, FC Porto chief strategy officer Michele Montesi highlighted the advantages of the project: “We want to create real opportunities for young Mexicans to grow in a competitive, educational environment with strong values. This is just the beginning of a journey that we believe can create new opportunities for youth football in Mexico.”

“Dragon Force by FC Porto in Mexico City will welcome around 400 students, bringing the total number of students at the international schools to 3,500. Overall, around 9,000 students train daily with Dragon Force. This new school strengthens the Club’s international presence and aims to establish itself as a benchmark in the development of young athletes, promoting FC Porto’s values and creating an ever-stronger bridge between Portugal and Mexico through football,” the Dragons explained.
