Stockport College has formed a unique partnership with Bharati Vidyapeeth University, Liverpool FC and Kickworldwide to create the Abhijit Kadam Memorial Football Development Centre (AKMFDC) in Pune, India.
Liverpool FC will offer the technical expertise and Kickworldwide co-ordinates the venture. Stockport College will be offering advice on how to develop the centre where players get professional training and full time education.
Steve Mort, Manager of Stockport College Academy of Sport said: "Our experience in England has proved so extensive that we were subsequently approached to be a partner in this unique venture."
Steve added: "Our project here is fitting academic and competitive football together at AKMFDC. As a UK College partner we are excited about this football development centre and committed to high quality service."
Students in India will get a proper knowledge through academics for the first time. The centre opens in September and Stockport College is looking to host the first set of students in the 2010 intake.
