Manuel de Brito spoke for Benfica TV saying all the steps of the agreement. He started explaining the agreement from the first phase of implementation.
“President Mamdouh Eid wants to invest a lot in training. In this first contact, we will send a technical coordinator and a coach, focused on 15–19 years. In terms of international recognition, it also shows that we are moving up the chain of clubs interested in us. ‘Made in Seixal’ is touring the world, and we will continue to grow”, said the vice president of Benfica.
Benfica is one of the most successful teams for growing talents. Benfica is a reference point for the biggest clubs in the world that want to purchase players. Pyramid FC is a club that it is opened recently (2018) and plays in the first Egyptian League. Both clubs will win from the agreement. The president of Pyramid said that it is a huge step for his club.
“With what Benfica offers, we can achieve something magical and take our academy to another level. With this, we can help football in Egypt and even Africa.”
Pyramid FC is a club that has connections with Portugal prior to the agreement thanks to the staff that manages the players. Now the club seeks to expand its presence in the European market by sending its players to Portugal. Years ahead will show the functionality of the agreement as both clubs want to go forward with their policies.
