This cross-border sports cooperation project is another useful attempt by China and the UK to promote international sports exchanges and the integration of sports and education, under the context of the national strategy to “revitalize three major sports”. The implementation of this project will help to identify future football talents through youth football training camps, youth football competitions, and training abroad. It also helps to develop a “sports + culture and tourism” model, driving economic growth in cities and promoting the overall improvement of related industries. Additionally, deeper exchanges in football culture will further deepen cooperation between China and the UK. By inviting foreign football coaches to teach in China and sending domestic players to train in the UK, this two-way interaction will help to accumulate practical experience and improve the exchange mechanism, thereby promoting the integration of sports culture and resources between the two countries.
Gavin Young, Chief Business Officer of Bournemouth Football Club, introduced the project
Being invited to attend this strategic cooperation press conference between Bournemouth Football Club and Gao Zhuan Culture Group is not only a recognition of Lawyer Yang Lun’s professional skills, but also indicates that Longan Guangzhou’s legal services and professional influence in the field of sports and culture have been widely recognized by the industry. In the future, Longan Guangzhou will continue to encourage and support lawyers to deepen their expertise in sports legal services and improve their professional standards, contributing to the integration of “sports + culture and tourism”.
