LaLiga and NBA set to open €35m sports and education complex in August

July 22 – LaLiga and the NBA have teamed up to open a 35 million euro sports and education complex which will open next month.

The 43,000 m² ESC LaLiga&NBA complex is located in Villaviciosa de Odón, 15 km west of Madrid, and will feature two football pitches (one natural grass and one artificial grass ), training areas, a basketball hall with three main courts, a high-performance gymnasium, a swimming pool and a fully equipped residence for 450 people and its own school.

The sporting development of the players is at the heart of the project, although there is also an important educational component with the aim of promoting the concept of the student athlete in Spain, along similar lines in the United States.< /p>

Javier Hernández, Head of Business and International Development at LaLiga Grassroots, said: "ESC LaLiga&NBA is the answer to the needs of the sports industry for facilities with these characteristics. In addition, the complex will be an asset in the service of 42 LaLiga clubs, which will be able to use it for their sporting projects and events."

The players will train using the LaLiga methodology, with the coaches leading the process being LaLiga coaches with top-level training, holding UEFA Pro licenses as well as international experience at Spain's youth academies.< /p>

The complex opens in August with events, including the first "Training Stage" program with international players. September will see the launch of the LaLiga Academy, an open program in which athletes will be part of the LaLiga ecosystem for 10 months.

"The complex is designed with the concept of the 'Olympic Village', which means that any interested party can use the facilities, and will also be the headquarters of LaLiga and the NBA," says David Pampliega, Global Managing Director of T3NSport. & Investment.

"We have created a model that changes the paradigm of athlete education and training," says Kiyomi Cerezo, CEO of T3N Sport & Investment.
