Possibly the most exciting initiative in youth soccer in the Asia-Pacific region has seen AS Roma Calcio establish a presence in Melbourne, Australia. With the collaboration of Genova International School of Soccer (GISS) and sponsorship partners, this unique development brings new skills and understanding to the game of football for many young Australians. Through the regular presentation of professional skills clinics under the guidance of internationally recognised players and coaches, AS Roma Australia will establish a process which ensures that a good number of young players experience the best that AS Roma and European football has to offer.
This project builds on an ongoing relationship with AS Roma Calcio, and through enhancing that relationship establishes a bridge between Australia and Italy in order to provide real prospects for talented young Australian players.
AS Roma Australia represents the first ever AS Roma Calcio presence anywhere outside Italy. Close collaboration between Australian staff, and the staff of AS Roma Calcio will ensure that the highest professional standards associated with the game of football are brought to bear in the development of Australian players, and in the development of football in Australia.
