As of March, the former world soccer star Ronaldinho Gaúcho, world champion for Brazil, will open a soccer academy in Angola, named R10, in partnership with the Angolan club Benfica of Lubango.
The information was advanced a few days ago by the president of Benfica of Lubango, Jacques da Conceição, making known that the headquarters of the academy R10 will be fixed in the capital of the country, Luanda and that the establishment will train athletes from four to 17 years of age, of both sexes.
Cited by Lusa, the sport’s official said that, in the first phase, the academy would open with 150 athletes.
However, the objective is to welcome more than 300, under the guidance of Angolan coaches, in its great majority, Brazilians and other nationalities.
