Kengezi said the African Lyon youth academy has a direct partnership with the Seattle Sounders FC of Major League Soccer in the US as well as Louisiana College. This unique relation, Kangezi said, allows for two youth from the team to train with seasoned professionals at the world class facilities every year. The two are also afforded with an opportunity to attain a top notch education while in the US and the inaugural candidate for this year was announced yesterday as Jarufu Magese.
