HARLEQUIN HOTELS & RESORTS SIGN CONTRACT WITH LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB TO OPEN LIVERPOOL F C SOCCER SCHOOLS AT OUR CARIBBEAN RESORTS



We are delighted to announce that Harlequin Hotels & Resorts and Liverpool Football Club have signed an agreement to open Liverpool F C Soccer Schools at each of our resorts in the Caribbean.

We will work in partnership with Liverpool Football Club to create Liverpool F C Soccer Schools which will provide unique training and coaching programmes in an environment where everyone will be given the opportunity to play football to the best of their ability, with encouragement and training to develop the skills necessary to enjoy the game at whatever level they wish to play. Harlequin Hotels & Resorts also intends to make the facilities at the soccer schools available to local children to encourage education through sports as part of our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility in the communities within which it operates.

The Caribbean provides the perfect location for sports training facilities as its climate makes it possible for year-round practice and training.

We believe that the involvement of Liverpool FC will enhance the prestige of our resorts and will help to define Harlequin Hotels & Resorts further as the premier destination resorts in the Caribbean.

We are expecting a small number of representatives from Liverpool Football Club to be present at the Launch Event on Monday and Tuesday, 13th and 14th July, including Jonathan Kane, Director of International Business Development and ex-players Alan Kennedy and David Fairclough.

We intend to organise an official launch later in the year to welcome our new partners.

Kind regards
Dave Ames
Chairman
