Espanyol bets on Indonesia for its new academies

RCD Espanyol de Barcelona continues to consolidate its international expansion with its arrival in Indonesia, a country that seems fundamental in the club's strategy. It is a market with a lot of economic and human potential, where there is a great love for football. RCD Espanyol understands that it is a magnificent opportunity to enter a growing country, with which it maintains historical ties and which offers many sporting and business options. In addition, it allows us to approach new audiences and audiences that should increase our fan base. As part of its policy of getting closer to the Indonesian community, the club has launched a new Twitter account @RCDEspanyol_ID.

RCD Espanyol is the first LaLiga club to have opted for this strategic market aware of its enormous potential. In Indonesia there is great love for soccer and there are many boys and girls who can benefit from the club's know-how to improve their conditions and characteristics as players. In this sense, the academies are fundamental and have a great specific weight when it comes to instilling the values ​​that the blue and white club represents, a centenary institution.

RCD Espanyol maintains a historical link with Indonesia. In this sense, it should be noted that both in 1978 and in 2017 the team toured the Asian country, generating great expectations and establishing links that have been preserved to this day. Two players born in Indonesia such as Arthur Irawan or Evan Dimas have gone through blue and white youth football. But, without a doubt, the most fascinating case is that of Jordi Amat. The defender, trained in the lower categories of our grassroots football and who played 47 games with the first team, is one of the stars of the Indonesian team and one of the most important public figures in the country.

In addition, the Blue and White Infantil B team recently visited the Asian country to play the Asiana Cup 2022 tournament and have a spectacular experience. The parakeet expedition was amazed at the treatment received by the organization and the fans who came to enjoy the tournament.

Indonesia is the fourth country in world population with more than 270 million inhabitants and an economic powerhouse. Its growth is linked to the organization of top-level international events such as the U-20 World Cup organized by FIFA or the G-20 summit in Bali.

RCD Espanyol continues with its clear line of international expansion and with the firm conviction of approaching new markets where it can generate beneficial relationships and opportunities.
