José Moya, director of LaLiga Business School, told EFE that "LaLiga is already a global brand, and we want to be close to the fans in all parts of the world, we also want to professionalize the sports industry where we think we can give a helping hand".

Why were agreements signed in these two countries?

With regard to the agreement signed with the Peruvian university, he stated that "We believe that it is a country with a very great potential, and with a huge soccer and sports culture. We want to be close to the Peruvian fans, who will be close to us and be part of their day to day".

The benefits that the agreements in Ecuador and Peru will bring

It is expected that with the training imparted in these countries it will be possible to generate the same competitive and professional level that LaLiga Santander has since this has managed to position itself as one of the most important leagues in the world. This is because it has some of the best clubs and players internationally.

Will LaLiga sign agreements with more Latin American countries?

According to the EFE Agency, the next agreement of this type in Latin America will be developed with the Externado de Colombia University. This in order to boost professional soccer in the country. In addition, there is the possibility that the agreement may be extended to other countries in the region.
