Borussia Dortmund Strikes Partnership With Club Marconi
March 25, 2019
Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund has joined forces with Sydney-based National Premier League Club Marconi.
As part of the partnership, Dortmund’s coaching staff will travel to Marconi during school holidays and select three junior players to travel to Germany for an intensive training with the club.
Borussia has earlier partnered with clubs across China, Singapore and Thailand.
Marconi football chairman Robert Carniato said:“Borussia Dortmund is the perfect fit with our club philosophy. They are a club that develop their own players, they focus very much on producing their own, that fits perfectly with what we are doing at Club Marconi.
“Like Borussia Dortmund, our purpose is to provide a career path for our young players, this partnership will enable us to offer that internationally. Our coaches will benefit greatly, learning from Borussia Dortmund this can only benefit our players in the future as the knowledge is passed down.”
Borussia’s Chief Operating Officer Carsten Cramer said: “This is a milestone and marks a new chapter in the growth of our international story and most importantly into the history books of our club to have a partnership in Australia. We are pleased and are delighted to welcome Club Marconi into our black and yellow BVB family.”
