After bringing the world-class Paris Saint-Germain Academy training methodology to South Florida, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Vancouver, Paris Saint-Germain continues its expansion across North America, with the opening of a new Academy in Chicago.
“I am beyond excited to bring a world-class soccer program to Chicago,” said Milos Bajic, the new Paris Saint-Germain Academy Chicago Program Director, who originally ran West Loop Soccer Club.
“Partnering with a global brand like Paris Saint-Germain, and becoming part of the Paris Saint-Germain worldwide academy network will provide unparalleled development opportunities to all of our aspiring soccer players in the Chicago region.”
