​PSG invest big in Florida academy

Paris Saint-Germain have opened an academy in Miami, Florida worth a reported US$70 million, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/.

The new campus, which is the largest overseen by a European club in the United States and will cost students between US$35,000 and US$81,400 per year to attend, will serve as the headquarters for all of PSG's academies across North America.

The facility, built in partnership with franchise holder Paris Saint Germain Academy USA, will also be the new home of the PSG Academy's residency programme, which can serve more than 100 players per season. A 20,000-capacity stadium and five training pitches also sit within the establishment.

The academy, which aims to welcome more than 10,000 developing players in the next three years, also has links to United Soccer League (USL) League Two side FC Miami City.
