Indian Super League side Hyderabad FC announced a strategic tie-up with Spanish club Marbella FC, with the clubs signing up to a three-year association on Thursday. The Andalusia-based club currently play in the Segunda División B, having narrowly missed out on promotion last season.

Hyderabad co-owner Varun Tripuraneni said, “Marbella has one of the top infrastructure facilities in not just Spain, but entire Europe. This strategic tie-up allows us to explore a lot of opportunities that will help Hyderabad FC on the technical side of the game. For starters, the top young players in our first and reserve team will head to Marbella for an extended training period, once travel opens up.”

Through this tie-up, Hyderabad shall be at liberty to avail the facilities and infrastructure of Marbella for conducting pre-season for HFC’s first-team and will also have the opportunity to utilize their medical personnel and facilities.

“The facilities and infrastructure will offer a great level of exposure for our players and the idea is to provide medium to long-term training experience and not just a short camp,” added Varun Tripuraneni.

Marbella FC General Manager Héctor Morales said, “This alliance with Hyderabad FC is a source of pride for Marbella FC. It will allow us to be in contact with one of the most important clubs from an emerging football market. We are convinced that this alliance will bring great benefits to both clubs. We are already working with Hyderabad FC to start this new adventure together as soon as possible.”
