Football partnership will benefit players

The Bermuda Football Association announced on Wednesday the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Bermudian Brazilian Football School (BBFS).

The BBFS provides an excellent supplemental football for Bermudian Players and a Life Skills programme. In April 2013 the Brazilian Football School hosted an International Girls Football Festival to mark their 5th anniversary. The BFA National academy teams participated in what was a very good festival. The MOU is the formalization of the working relationship that exists between our organizations.

Cal Blankendal, CEO of the BBFS, said in a press release: "Bermuda's Brazilian Football School is pleased to partner with the Bermuda Football Association. We look forward to exchanging ideas, for the benefit of all players, under the umbrella of the BFA."

Player development committee chairman Mark Wade said: "The BFA is excited in exploring ways in which the relationship can expand and flourish to the betterment of the game."
