RCDE Academy Helsinki visit Barcelona

Players from the Finnish academy get to train like RCD Espanyol players

Last week, RCD Espanyol hosted a visit by the RCDE Academy Helsinki. Players from Finland were able to see both the RCDE Stadium and the Ciudad Deportiva Dani Jarque up close, and also spent time with first team goalkeeper Joan Garcia and RCD Espanyol Femenino player Trudi Carter.

They also participated in training sessions coaches from the academy system team in the La21 environment.

The Helsinki academy was opened in 2019 and is already a benchmark facility for training and excellence in Finland. Teams from there usually compete in national leagues and tournaments in the territory, as well as providing players for the youth categories of the Finnish national team setup.
