Desde el Hércules de Alicante CF, nos complace anunciar de manera oficial el acuerdo de colaboración al que hemos llegado con el St. Johnstone FC de la Premiership (Primera División) escocesa. Esta alianza causará un impacto positivo en la región de cada club y cubrirá aspectos tanto futbolísticos como corporativos. Somos conscientes de que ya existe una fuerte conexión entre ambas aficiones, por lo tanto, esto es simplemente un paso más que sirve para fortalecer los lazos entre Alicante y la ciudad de Perth.
Este acuerdo jugará un papel importante en tres áreas principales: el primer equipo, la cantera y el fútbol base y los diferentes asuntos corporativos.
Se está considerando un posible amistoso entre ambos equipos durante la próxima pretemporada. Además, el Hércules se pone a disposición de los Saints para cualquiera de sus visitas a la provincia de Alicante durante sus pretemporadas.
Hércules CF y St. Johnstone FC se apoyarán mutuamente en la búsqueda y formación de jóvenes futbolistas, además de colaborar para promover programas de fútbol base. Desde este próximo verano, los entrenadores y jugadores de ambos equipos tendrán la oportunidad de vivir una experiencia internacional. Los clubes también trabajarán juntos en el desarrollo del fútbol femenino, con partidos amistosos organizados entre sus equipos.
Hercules CF is delighted to announce it is in dialog regarding an international club partnership with Scottish Premiership outfit, St Johnstone FC. This collaboration will mutually benefit each club’s region and cover both footballing and non-footballing aspects. We are aware there is already a strong connection between both fan groups therefore, this is simply an additional step to strengthen the ties between Alicante and Perth.
The partnership will play an important role in three main areas of the clubs: the first team, the academy and grassroots football and the corporate departments.
The chance of both first teams playing against each other in the near future is a scenario under consideration. In addition, the Saints will be assisted by the Hercules staff whilst visiting the region during any pre-season stage.
Hercules CF and St Johnstone FC will support each other with the scouting and training of young footballers, as well as collaborating to promote grassroots programmes. Coaches and players from both teams will be given the opportunity to enjoy an international experience during the summer period.
Both sides will also work together on developing women’s football, with friendly matches organised between their women’s teams in the future.
Additionally, off-the-pitch staff will cooperate to identify opportunities within the football industry that can benefit both communities and entities.
A spokesman for Hercules CF said:
“For the Hercules supporters, this is an exciting project as it strengthens the bond between both fan bases, as well as opening new opportunities for the younger talents in the academy”.
Head of Operations at St Johnstone, Ian Flaherty, said
“This is an excellent opportunity for everyone at St Johnstone Football Club, The Community Trust and our supporters. This new relationship will present exciting opportunities to work together in the future.”
