The club's two youth-team coaches who will supervise the project had the opportunity to meet the young players with whom they will start working immediately. They also showed a video explaining the club's philosophy and the concepts on which their training sessions will be based.

The Real Oviedo party will also meet a group representing over 1,500 Chinese shareholders that are part of Real Oviedo's Chinese Supporters Association on Friday, to honour them with their share certificates and other tokens of good will.
