Red&Gold Football, a joint venture between FC Bayern München and Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC), today announced a new partnership with top-tier South Korean club Jeju SK FC. The goal of the partnership will provide talented players in South Korea a path to the top European leagues as well as to Major League Soccer (MLS).
Red&Gold Football will provide Jeju SK FC a regular exchange of coaching expertise and training methods, with plans to introduce a proprietary scouting system to the club. Young players from Jeju will have the opportunity to train regularly in Europe and the United States, participate in international tournaments, and showcase their talents at the highest level.
“South Korea is an important market for us,” said Jochen Sauer, Managing Director of Red&Gold Football. “FC Bayern and LAFC have gained valuable experience with Korean players—Min-jae Kim and Heung-min Son are just the most well-known examples. Together with Jeju SK FC, we want to nurture a new generation of talent. We sincerely thank the club management for their trust.”
