Football legends will be at WTM
Football legends Rio Ferdinand and Bobby Zamora will be at World Travel Market next month to launch a football partnership with a luxury hotel in Cyrpus.
The former professionals have joined with the new Parklane, a Luxury Collection Resort and Spa, to run Football Escapes, starting in May 2019.
The resort will have a world-class Football Academy featuring coaching from the pair.
Week-long courses will offer one training session a day and are available on select dates throughout 2019 to children between the ages of five and 15.
Children receive a full kit, including shirt, shorts and socks, and training from UEFA licensed coaches from renowned English Premier League clubs.
Ferdinand and Zamora will be at WTM at ExCel London on Monday at the Cyprus Tourism Association stand, EU900, from 11:30 to 12:00.
