Penrith Panthers Shift Training Camp to Manchester City’s Elite Facility
The Penrith Panthers NRL team are set to move their training base to Manchester City’s luxurious $380 million sporting compound. This is a landmark moment for the team as they prepare to achieve their first triumph on English turf in the World Club Challenge. They had close shaves in 1991 and 2004, but failed to clinch the victory.
Reciprocal Benefits with Manchester City
Teaming up with Manchester City, one of the heavyweights of world football, the Panthers will have access to a wide array of top-notch resources. This includes 16 football fields, an indoor pitch, high-tech gym facilities, a swimming pool and massage rooms. The collaboration with Manchester City marks a first for any NRL team.
Boost in International Exposure for Panthers
As this alliance unfolds, the Panthers will gain more international acclaim. They will be Manchester City’s special guests during their clash with Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium on February 17. Plans for interviews with key Panthers players on CityTV could further bolster their brand identity across the globe.
Training Plans and Player News
The Panther’s football manager is set to finalize the arrangements in England. The team will also conduct training sessions in Warrington, including a practice game against Sam Burgess’ team prior to their match against Wigan. Key player Jarome Luai, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, may not be fit for the World Club Challenge. However, it is hoped he will be ready by the start of the season. The Panthers recently received a championship belt from WWE stars, reflecting their increasing global impact.
