New investor plans R$150m training ground for Vasco | OneFootball

The new investor in Vasco SAF has already begun planning deep structural changes behind the scenes at the Rio de Janeiro club. According to an exclusive report by the NT Vascaínos profile, the main objective is to create a new training center for professional football. Marcos Faria Lamacchia's plan involves acquiring its own area or securing a concession with ample space and easy access for the athletes.

The current CT Moacyr Barbosa, located in Cidade de Deus, is expected to stop being the main headquarters of Vasco's senior team in the long term. The space should eventually be designated for women’s football and the younger youth academy categories. To get the new project off the ground, the businessman’s planned investments range from R$ 100 million to R$ 150 million.

Even with the focus on the move, the current training center will continue receiving immediate structural improvements for the Cruz-Maltino routine. This measure is seen as essential, since the search for a new plot of land and the construction of a modern complex take time. The idea is to develop one of the largest and most technologically advanced training centers in Latin America for football.

The project calls for full integration between professional football and the U-17 and U-20 categories. Vasco's new home will bring together top-level infrastructure and cutting-edge technology focused on high sports performance. A technical team linked to the investor is already working on feasibility studies and the search for the ideal location in Rio de Janeiro.

Internally, the understanding is that this transformation in the structure could drastically strengthen sporting preparation in the coming years. The investment fund believes that a modern headquarters is the fundamental pillar to justify the high financial contribution planned for Vasco SAF. Increasing the value of the physical assets is part of the strategy for the department’s full professionalization.

The search for the new address is already stirring the political and administrative backstage of the member-run club. If the project is carried out, Vasco SAF's football operation will take a leap in quality compared to its main domestic rivals. Members are enthusiastically following the design of a structure that promises to place the institution on a new technological level.
