The Spanish top division believes Kenya can be an ideal place for LALIGAclubs to tune up ahead of new seasons
LALIGA East Africa representative Alvaro Abreu has revealed plans to have Spanish top-flight teams visit Kenya in the future to take part in friendly matches as part of the league’s commitment to developing grassroots football in Kenya and across Africa.
The Spanish top-flight division announced a partnership with video gaming company EA Sports, which will see the company possess the league’s naming rights after ending its contract with world football governing body FIFA, to produce the popular football video game series.
Speaking after LALIGA HYPERMOTION side Deportivo Leganes president Jeff Luhnow held a press conference in Kenya, Abreu confirmed that plans were in place to come up with new strategies that will see young Kenyan players benefit from LALIGAs grassroots football development programme
“I think it has been something unique. We have been able to share new videos and strategies on what you expect for the new season thanks to our new title sponsor EA Sports,” Abreu said.
