CELTIC Soccer Academy are delighted to announce the latest North American club to its International Partnership Programme, with Niagara International FC joining the ranks.

The Ontario-based club join the programme ready to enjoy a host of exclusive partner benefits, including access to the online coaching curriculum, trips to Celtic Park and Glasgow to work with Celtic Soccer Academy coaches, and the visit of the Soccer Academy’s coaches to Niagara for camps with NIFC’s players and coaches.

With Niagara’s strong connections with fellow Celtic partnership club, Kenmore of Buffalo, it is hoped the link will strengthen the programme’s connections in the region.

Niagara International President, Andre Pacheco, said: “Niagara International FC is excited to enter into a partnership with Celtic FC. We look forward to a great relationship as it will provide opportunities for our players and coaches that are unmatched in the Niagara region.

“We can’t wait to learn from a great club enriched in soccer culture and history. In addition to lessons and memories soccer can provide, we will also provide players and parents with international experiences they will never forget.”

Senior International Soccer Academy Manager for North America, Willie McNab, added: “We have spoken with NIFC about our International Programme for some time and we are delighted to welcome such a well-organised club into our partnership programme.

“Through this partnership, it will see NIFC gain coach and player development opportunities and also allow Celtic Soccer Academy to grow its partnership across North America. We are looking forward to establishing a long-term relationship with NIFC which will benefit both organisations.”
