The Wanda Project
In December 2010, Villarreal signed a cooperation agreement with Dalian Wanda Group Corporation Ltd. group, in coordination with the Chinese central government and the Ministry of Sports, by which the submarine is actively involved in the transformation of Chinese football .
To understand the agreement, it should be noted that there is a state interest by China to promote football in the country and place it in its rightful place. In football, Spain is admired by China and synonymous with the quality country. Thus, and in order to grow the Chinese grassroots of football, the Wanda Group commissioned Great Gate-Zertior developing a project to improve young Chinese football talents, which will be sent every August to Spain to form and constitute a future axis of the China Team.
Since the 2012-13 season and for three seasons prior, Wanda has expanded to two other groups, Wanda shall promote to the Sports City of Villarreal ten young Chinese players promises to be formed in the Submarine Training program.
