- It is a great success of the Przemyśl club and a great opportunity to promote our city. Negotiations with representatives of Barcelona lasted almost two months and thanks to the support of HENSFORT and goodwill of many people ended with a happy end - explains Paweł Rząsa, Project Coordinator on behalf of HENSFORT.
On February 18, 2019, next to the legendary stadium of FC Barcelona - Camp Nou the youth team of Eaglets Hensfort Przemyśl (year 2008), will play a match with their peers from the "Pride of Catalonia” academy.The FC Barcelona academy is a key club project which methodology is based on Johann Cruyff's idea of creative and offensive playing style combined with team work, ambition and respect for rivals.
On the occasion of the match, the representatives of the UKS ORLIK HENSFORT will meet employees and ambassadors of FC Barcelona to talk about possible forms of cooperation in the future.
The opportunity to play a match with the players of the best world academy is very ennobling. We are happy that we are taking part in this event and we are keeping our fingers crossed for these young players - said Andrzej Pichur, President of HENSFORT Sp. z o.o.
Currently, in the five strongest leagues in the world, there are over 60 alumni of Barcelona, including players like Leo Messi, Mauro Icardi, Cesc Fabregas and Gerard Pique. The rivals of the Eaglets, lead by coach Juan Jimenez, are a group of selected players who in the future are to become the pillars of the first team.
- I would be very happy if in a few years the Eaglets from Przemyśl could say that they played a match with the current stars of world football. However, knowing the attitude of the trainers, parents and children, it may happen that the pupils of Barcelona will in the future boast of pictures with the Eaglets- said Adam Kotleszka, Eurosport commentator.
