Villarreal Academy expands into East Asia in collaboration with Kakehashi Football Agency
Villarreal CF coaches will be heading to Taiwan to hold the club’s first-ever camp in the East Asian country from 18th to 19th July 2026. This camp is organized in collaboration with Kakehashi Football Agency and will be open to boys and girls from U7 to U18. This two-day event held at the National Taiwan University Zhubei Campus Football Field is a unique opportunity to train under Villarreal’s renowned methodology, and one lucky player will be selected to participate in an official Villarreal CF tournament in Spain.
Kakehashi FA is an organization dedicated to creating opportunities for young Asian players by acting as a bridge between Taiwan, Japan, and the global football community. The agency provides Taiwanese players with access to high-level training environments internationally and now, with this new collaboration with Villarreal CF, the bar has been raised even higher.
Mr. Yusuke Nagata, owner of Kakehashi Football Agency, is excited for this new venture alongside Villarreal CF: “Our core philosophy is to create opportunities to challenge. We believe that a player’s potential is not determined solely by talent, but also by environment and opportunities. Our mission is to provide those opportunities and open pathways for each player to challenge themselves on the global stage. Villarreal CF is globally recognized for the quality of its youth development, not only in Spain but across Europe. While our activities have primarily focused on connections with Japan, we believe that exposing Taiwanese players to top-level European football environments is essential for broadening their perspective and raising their standards. Partnering with Villarreal CF, a club highly respected for its technical, tactical, and developmental philosophy, represents a significant step forward for football development in Taiwan.”
Brandon Páramo, Villarreal CF International Business Manager, stated: “We’re delighted to be holding our first camp in Taiwan this summer. Our goal with our international projects is to expose all players to our methodology to help boost their player development and provide unique opportunities later on in Spain and worldwide.”
