Jose Antonio Cachaza, managing director, LaLiga India, said, “The primary aim of this tournament and ‘Football Fiesta’ engagement activity for LaLiga Football Schools with Real Betis is to provide an immersive and exciting experience to budding footballers who are a part of our programme. The involvement of a top-tier club like Real Betis in the programme and this initiative only encourages the youngsters to work towards actualizing their football dreams.”
“This project is very important for us as it helps us engage with our students in a way that they find fun and also help them further improve their football skills. We are happy to work with our club Real Betis for this, especially after seeing the resounding success of the programme and our initiatives since its launch,” said Javier Cabrera, technical director, LaLiga Football Schools India.
Ramón Alarcón, business general director, Real Betis, said, “We joined hands with LaLiga for the LaLiga Football Schools in Bengaluru earlier this year and have already seen a lot of promise in the talent in this country. Through this intra-centre tournament and Football Fiesta we hope to inspire more youngsters to pursue their passion in football.”
