Having seen a lot of promise in Uganda, Kluivert and Garcia said they would set up a young soccer development academy there. “After three weeks here, I have personally witnessed that Uganda has a lot of soccer ability. Many young individuals have huge potential to take front stage on the globe. We want to provide them this chance, Garcia said.
Flying in on Sunday night, Kluivert said he was astounded by Uganda’s natural beauty and travel appeal. “Based on the little time I have been here, Uganda is definitely among the most gorgeous nations on Earth. You have a lot to offer, thus we will provide you excellent worldwide coverage for both investment and tourists.
The team is here on a mission including UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador activities, the discovery of soccer talent in Uganda for export, and the identification of chances to support tourism and investment in Uganda using the Barcelona FC brand.
With an annual turnover of €484.6 million, Barcelona FC is the fourth wealthiest football team in the world and the second most expensive sports franchise overall, valued US$3.2 billion.
