PAOK have recently launched new collaborations in Germany and Australia, however, their most recent partnership has seen PAOK Football Prints agree to a new partnership in Montreal, Canada. This partnership has been in the works for two-years between both parties.
The goal of the academy in Canada is to teach Canadian players the basic concepts of soccer in line with the PAOK methodology. All areas of the academy, including technical development, coaching, coaching approach, and personal development are aligned with the PAOK FC methodology that has been successful in recent years.
Players that attend the academy in Canada will train the same way as they do in PAOK’s youth academy back in Greece, implementing the club’s philosophy in all the components of the program.
PAOK’s official statement:
After Germany and Melbourne, in Australia, Canada is the next destination that has been added to the world map of PAOK’s academy collaborations. The club has now launched its cooperation with the Premera Soccer Academy in the city of Montreal.
The preparations had already been made for a major collaboration on the other side of the Atlantic, and it’s now officially announced. Until now, Canada was a country that was off the map in football terms and in the spirit of development and a thirst to move forward, this was a big step that the PAOK academy wanted to explore.
The project, which has been two years in the making, was implemented by PAOK affiliate network coordinator Vangelis Pourliotopoulos, along with Mr. Pantelis Stefanidis, a businessman and an active PAOK supporter in Canada.
