IT IS OFFICIAL!

We are delighted to announce that Club Football Reach Your Dreams Organisation (CF RYDO) is our new strategic partner. CF RYDO is an innovative humanitarian development model co-founded by Sechaba Penane and Pitso Makhanya to empower children and youth to tackle socio-economic challenges by using football as a catalyst. With this new strategic partnership we look forward to give exceptional talent developed in Lesotho to secure football opportunities in Spain and across Europe.

Global M - Marbella city started this season a great partnership with Nick Arestis South Africa Soccer Schools. Already many of their players experienced and visited our Spanish lifestyle and football academy. In 2020 we are expecting 100 + players to give South African talents a life time football experience.

"GLOBAL M is delighted now to enhance our partnership in the African continent with CF RYDO located in Lesotho. We will start to invite 2 of their national selected players to expose them to top level of football and clubs. WE are extremely proud that Champions leaque winner coach Pitso Makhanya has chosen our full residence academy and build together a football legacy for young talented players" says Chris Vermeeren .
