MALAGA CF - ILAJI FC PARTNERSHIP
As part of its efforts towards achieving its corporate vision (nurturing its talented football players in its academy to stardom) the management of Ilaji Hotels and Sports Resort has, thus, embarked upon strategic alliances with top European clubs.
It started with SWIESQI FC United, Malta and now Malaga CF. Having studied the football philosophy of administration of the La Liga giant which interestingly is in tandem with that of Ilaji Soccer Academy, the management went all out to ensure that the contract was signed by both parties in due course.
The Malaga officials having put pen to paper have conceded to Ilaji Soccer Academy the representation of its brand in Nigeria. With this development, the brand in Nigeria is now known as Malaga CF, Nigeria.
The beauty of this partnership is that it is not solely hinged on financial benefits alone. Apart from the sale of players, other benefits include scouting programmes, training of Ilaji technical crew by the Malaga Officials among others. The ultimate beneficiaries of this partnership are the football talents most of whom will have their dreams of exhibiting their talents in Spain and European clubs at large actualised.
