The pupils received coaching from renowned footballers, including Patrick Kluivert, Gaizka Mendieta, Javier Saviola, Raul Bravo Sanfelix, Ruben de la Red Gutierrez, Jose Emilio Amavisca Garate, Antonia Nunez Tena, and Pedro Munitis Alvarez.
The event commenced with the highly anticipated arrival of the players, who were welcomed by a party of MCHK representatives. All attendees proceeded to the school’s Sky Pitch, where pupils participated in a coaching session led by the legends, who imparted essential skills and techniques. The session included a carousel of drills, allowing pupils to rotate through stations.
Following the training, a special meet-and-greet saw pupils interact with the players, take photos, and receive autographs.
Attendees also had the chance to win tickets to the much-anticipated “Legends Assemble: Real Madrid Legends vs. Barcelona Heroes” match on December 20 during a lucky draw.
Paul Wickes, Headmaster of Malvern College Hong Kong, shared his thoughts on the day: “MCHK believes in nurturing talent to help our pupils realise their full potential. This incredible opportunity to be coached by some of the greatest names in world football will undoubtedly inspire them to pursue their dreams.”
Jacqueline So, Co-founder and Chief Executive of Malvern College International (Asia Pacific), remarked: “This event truly exemplified the spirit of community and our commitment to youth engagement. Football has the power to bring people together, and we hope today’s activities inspired the next generation of players. A special thanks to the Melting Pot Foundation, Time Wow, WFL and Aco media for making this event possible.”
