This makes the team the first professional sports organization to establish a dedicated professional training facility on a tribal reservationSan Diego MLS is building a training facility and youth academy on 28 acres of Sycuan tribal land in El Cajon, becoming the first professional sports organization to establish a dedicated professional training facility on a tribal reservation, the team announced Sunday.
It will also include five full-sized soccer fields, including three natural turf fields and two synthetic turf fields; open-air training areas surrounded by the natural beauty of the Sycuan tribal land; and infrastructure improvements. The Right to Dream Academy started out as a small soccer academy in Ghana until it was purchased in 2021 by Mohamed Mansour of the Mansour Group, which also owns San Diego MLS -- a Major League Soccer expansion franchise scheduled to begin play in 2025.
"This model has already transformed lives and yielded great results in Africa and Europe, and for San Diego, with such a deep pool of soccer talent, we are excited to see the impact it will bring."
