Jorgina Busquets, Managing Director - Football Education, Recreation and Partner Clubs for City Football Group, commented:

"We are delighted to be opening our first Manchester City Football School in Kolkata with Techno India Group, who are a leading education provider to children and young adults throughout West Bengal.

"We are looking forward to creating a first-class educational experience, through the presence of fully training, full-time Manchester City coaches, based on the same approach and methodology that we use in our programs in Manchester, tailored to the level of each player."

Debdut Roychowdury, Director - Techno India Group, expressed his enthusiasm for the new collaboration with Manchester City to launch the first football school of its kind in the new region, stating:

"It is with immense pride and excitement that we join forces with Manchester City Football to bring their renowned football training expertise to the heart of Indian football, West Bengal.

"This landmark partnership reflects our deep commitment to nurturing young athletes and creating transformative opportunities for their development.

"Uniting the passion for football between two iconic cities - Kolkata and Manchester - we wish to set a new standard for grassroots football, shaping a brighter future for the sport in India and inspiring the champions of tomorrow."

The official opening of the program will take place in late 2024 for Techno India Group students and will expand to offer programs for the wider community in 2025.
