    Furthermore, various football-related stakeholders seek the services of The FBA for the creation and/or delivery of a variety of tailor-made workshops, certificates, or diplomas.

    Marcin Chmielewski, Head of Partnerships for The FBA, said: “We are happy to welcome Chester FC into our FBA Family.

    “The club’s objectives and recent actions go in line with our mission of professionalising the football industry and educating the future leaders of the game.

    “Our candidates will work on consulting missions to support Chester FC with their business strategy and keep developing the club on and off the field.”

    Chester FC’s General Manager Georgina Slawinski, who is an alumna of the FBA, said: “We are delighted to be partnering up with the Football Business Academy.

    “Having been through the FBA programme myself and experiencing first-hand the benefits it gave me, I was very keen to set up a partnership that both parties will hugely benefit from.

    “It gives us the opportunity to bring in some talented and creative students to work at the club on a project that will not only be fantastic for us but will also see students gain invaluable experience behind the scenes to help them with their journey into their football business career.”
