SportsUlaanbaatar, October 15, 2024 /MONTSAME/. The training for young football athletes of Mongolia, organized by the renowned English football club Fulham FC, took place on October 8-11, 2024, at the Mongolian Football Federation Stadium.
As part of the “Go Mongolia” project implemented by the Government of Mongolia, 11 outstanding young athletes were selected from this training program to participate in Fulham FC’s program in London. The selected athletes will visit Craven Cottage Stadium and the first-class training facilities in England, engage in a two-day training session with coaches from Fulham FC’s academy, and play a friendly match with the team from the Fulham FC Foundation.
Youth Development Coach Yannick Jean said, "It has been a truly rewarding experience to coach a portion of Mongolia's talented footballers. Seeing the young players' footwork, skillful defense, and focus clearly indicates that Mongolian football academies are diligently working to develop youth talent. I hope the Mongolian children will continue to maintain their positive attitude, train consistently, and play with determination. The collaboration initiated with Fulham Football Club will undoubtedly create numerous opportunities for the development of young Mongolian athletes in the future. I am also eagerly looking forward to seeing them play on television in a few years.”
