Club Italia Master, an association for former Italian professional soccer players, has recently agreed a strategic partnership with a Guangzhou-based sports company to help promote youth soccer in China.

The deal will see a number of Italian coaches be introduced to Chinese schools to guild training. And both sides will work together to organize camps both in China and Italy. In addition to youth soccer project, a team of former Italian players will be invited to China where they will have friendly matches.

"We are more than willing to introduce soccer concepts, experience, modes and methods to China to promote friendly exchanges between Italy and China," said Schillaci, former soccer legend and the ambassador of Club Italia Master.

Club Italia Master, founded in 1980, aims at promoting the sports value among soccer to teenagers. The organization includes several big names including Paolo Rossi, Paolo Maldini, Cannavaro, Roberto Baggio, Salvatore Schillaci and Filippo Inzaghi.
