The construction works to build Legia Training Center in the Grodzisk Mazowiecki county will start at the beginning of April. Akademia Pi\u0142karska Legii (APL) is a special purpose company responsible for the creation of the center. On Tuesday, March 26, APL officially handed the construction site over to the general contractor (PORR). The launch of the center is planned for June 2020. The value of the project is 80 mln zloty, 11 mln zloty of which came from a grant from the Ministry of Sport and Tourism. The remaining funds come from Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK), the Ministry of Development and Legia\u2019s own budget.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The construction of Legia Training Center begins <strong>a<\/strong><strong>t the beginning\nof April 2019<\/strong><\/li><li>The value of investment:<strong> 80 mln PLN<\/strong> (grants from the Ministry of Sport and Tourism and the Ministry of Development, funds from Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, Legia\nWarsaw\u2019s own contribution)<\/li><li>Legia Training Center will be the most modern football training center\nin Poland with <strong>6 pitches <\/strong>(5 with a natural surface and one with an\nartificial surface \u2013 covered with a pneumatic hall for the autumn\nand winter periods) <\/li><li>The end of construction and the beginning of relocation are planned for <strong>June 2020<\/strong><\/li><li>The construction of Legia\nTraining Center opens up new opportunities for sponsorship cooperation (among\nothers naming rights of Legia Training Center)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe construction of Legia\nTraining Center stands as a foundation of Legia\u2019s strategy. Our goal is not\nonly to strengthen the position of the best club in Poland, but also to\nconsistently build the position of Legia in Europe and join Europe\u2019s elite football clubs. As\na result of Legia Training Center we would like to create players who will\neventually play in the first team of Legia and other Ekstraklasa clubs, as well\nas in the leading European clubs. In order to achieve this, we need an\ninfrastructure that will allow us to attract and develop the greatest talents\nin Poland and Central Europe. We will also take advantage of the best training\nexperience and knowledge, as well as create and develop new technologies at\nLegiaLab,\u201d said Dariusz Mioduski,\npresident and owner of Legia. \u201eThe creation of such a training center that will also\nserve as a second home to Legia has been my dream and one of the priorities for\nthe last 5 years. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the fact\nthat I can say today: We are building Legia Training Center!&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legia has undergone a long administrative and investment process that included signing a contract with the Grodzisk Mazowiecki Commune, where Legia Training Center will be based. During the last few years, Legia has received grants from the Ministry of Sport and Tourism and the Ministry of Development, chose a contract engineer (Tremend) and a general contractor (PORR), and most recently, it has signed a loan agreement with Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8222;A state-of-the-art facility is being created not just for Poland but for the whole region. The greatest Polish and foreign talents will join the Academy at Legia Training Center,\u201d said Tomasz Zahorski, proxy of Legia\u2019s board and CEO of the special-purpose company Akademia Pi\u0142karska Legii (APL), which supervises the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8222;The construction of Legia Training Center means a massive change when it comes to the way Legia\u2019s sports department works and it is a great opportunity to develop the entire club further. All of the club\u2019s main departments will be relocated to the Center, based 30 km from our stadium: the first team, sports director, scouting department, sports administration, the second team and U15-U18 Academy teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, LegiaLab, a special unit dedicated to research and development, will also be moved there. The only departments that will stay at \u0141azienkowska 3 in Warsaw are the commercial and administrative parts of the club as well as the youngest teams of the Academy. This modern training center also opens up opportunities for us to sell the name of the Center, as it happens in many European clubs,\u201d added Tomasz Zahorski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before accepting the final project of Legia Training Center, the representatives of Legia visited around 30 training facilities around Europe (including Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Red Bull Leipzig, Anderlecht Brussels, Ajax Amsterdam, Feyenoord Rotterdam, Sporting Lisbon, FC Porto, Arsenal London, Tottenham London and Chelsea London). In total, Legia analyzed about 80 technical designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The architectural concept of the Center was prepared by the Polish studio LAP Studio in cooperation with Estudio Lamela, an international architectural office, which is the author of, among others, project of the Real Madrid training center in Spain &#8211; one of the most modern and well-known implementations of this type in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Legia Training Center will include, among others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 First team zone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2713    locker rooms<br>\n\u2713    fitness<br>\n\u2713    training surfaces<br>\n\u2713    recreation area &#8211; player&#8217;s lounge<br>\n\u2713    conference rooms<br>\n\u2713    medical offices<br>\n\u2713    hotel with 24 rooms with a 4-star standard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022    Football Academy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2713    locker rooms<br>\n\u2713    fitness<br>\n\u2713    training surfaces<br>\n\u2713    classrooms<br>\n\u2713    dormitory for players aged 13-18 (over 60 beds)<br>\n\u2713    the Center will host the U15-U18 teams and Legia B Team<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Offices of the sports division and other club departments<br>\n\u2022 LegiaLab Research and Development Center<br>\n\u2022 Surfaces for sports start-ups<br>\n\u2022 Recreational infrastructure open for the local residents to promote an active, healthy lifestyle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the process of financing Legia Training Center, Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego was advised by the CMS law company, while the Crido Legal law firm advised the company of Akademia Pi\u0142karska Legii Sp. z o.o that is responsible for the project. The financial adviser of Akademia Pi\u0142karska Legii was Jan Dzieka\u0144ski Corporate &amp; Project Finance Advisory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The design of the Center was prepared by LAP Studio.
