What is Luis Suárez’s ambitious project to have his own First Team in Uruguay?

For some years now, Luis Suárez has been carrying out an ambitious project in Uruguay. El Pistolero promoted the construction of the LS Sports City, an elite training center that aims to promote professionalism in the neighboring country and that, ultimately, would serve to fulfill a dream of the scorer: have a team in the Uruguayan First Division.

Located on Camino de los Horneros, Ciudad de la Costa, the LS Sports City is an eight-hectare property that has six fields, in addition to two mini synthetic stadiums: one for 11-a-side football, with space for 1,400 people, and another for 7-a-side football with capacity for 620 spectators. It also offers all kinds of services: seats, boxes, changing rooms, parking, swimming pool, gym, restaurant and even has its own streaming system.

Suárez’s dream, they say in Uruguay, is to be able to take a team to the First Division of his country. It won’t be from one day to the next (he should start from the Fourth and ascend three times), but the intention is firm and the project is long-term. For now, the LS Sports City is already a Public Limited Company, something common in the neighboring country: without going any further, Fernando Cavenaghi has just sold Racing de Montevideo to Bayern Munich, after two and a half years of management.

The Sports City was inaugurated in March of this year, with the presence of a celestial football glory like Maestro Tabárez, and It currently has about 3 thousand members. In addition, the property is used by nearly 700 youth, male and female categories, for all ages: soccer school, youth categories Sub14, Sub16, Sub18 and senior categories.

“Everything I experienced was difficult and the idea of ​​the Luis Suárez Complex is that children have the infrastructure to grow,” Suárez said the day of the organization, very excited. The dream, increasingly firm.

After saying goodbye to Gremio de Porto Alegre, it was confirmed that Luis Suárez will move to the United States to play for his friend’s Inter Miami Lionel Messi, as well as other former Barcelona players such as Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. El Pistolero, despite suffering from a chronic knee problem, had no qualms about being the figure of the Brasileirao with an impressive flow of goals.
