New Delhi, Nov 16 One of the biggest football clubs in England, Wolverhampton have entered into a strategic partnership with Delhi-based Young Star Academy (YSA) to promote football in India.

"We are really pleased to sign this partnership with young star academy. We've been very impressed with their work across multiple sports and are looking forward to working together to develop top coaches and young footballers. The project will start in Delhi but we have ambitions plans to expand the programme to multiple cities across India," he said.
"It gives us immense pleasure to welcome Wolves to India! This pioneering association with Wolves will enable us to develop our coaching prowess and host a holistic learning and training environment for aspirants of the beautiful game," commented Raghav Chhabra, Technical Director at Young Star Academy.
This opens up a plethora of opportunities for coaches and young stars in India to be exposed to the state-of-the-art training facilities at the Molineux, the home ground of Wolves; wherein some of the most skilled footballing minds from either side will come together and chalk out the finest blueprints to hone and nurture talent right from grassroots to the top.
