Villarreal CF partners with Sports Orient to bring a football camp to Batumi, Georgia. Villarreal coaches will lead training sessions with participants aged 6-14. The camp is part of Villarreal Academy's international expansion project. Some participants will be selected to enjoy a unique experience with Villarreal CF in Spain. Sports Orient is a sports marketing and consulting agency specializing in image rights, match organization, legends activations, content marketing, youth tournament organization, and other sports projects. One of Sports Orient's partners is Villarreal CF striker Georges Mikautadze. Mikautadze led the team during Villarreal's historic 72-point season, finishing as the club's top scorer with 15 goals. Sports Orient CEO Oto Mumladze expressed his excitement about what this new partnership with Villarreal CF will bring: "Our partner Georges Mikautadze, Villarreal CF's top scorer in his first season at the club, is an inspiration to thousands of teenagers and future footballers in Georgia, so it is important for us to create an opportunity for Georgian players to gain knowledge and valuable experience from Villarreal coaches." Mumladze continued: "What is most important and unprecedented is that this will be a football camp where no player will pay to participate. This is one of the most valuable aspects of the camp: ensuring that not only children whose families can afford it, but also those who love football the most and lack similar opportunities, will have the chance to take part. The players will train according to Villarreal's principles and methodology under the guidance of Spanish and local coaches, who will select two players to participate in an official Villarreal CF tournament next season. Villarreal CF International Business Manager Brandon Páramo stated: "We are really looking forward to holding this camp in Georgia this summer. Our goal with our international projects is to expose all players to our methodology to enhance their development and provide top opportunities. All participants will work directly with our Villarreal coaches and selected players will participate in an official Villarreal tournament, providing a real pathway to play in Spain. A pathway they can already see is possible thanks to Mikautadze. We wish all the players and coaches the best and hope this is just the beginning of a successful long-term collaboration with Sports Orient."
