FC Mallorca Toppfotball approved

The Spanish Confederation have approved our first choice of a name for our
Spanish football club.

The team name is F.C. Mallorca Toppfotball (Futbol Club Mallorca Toppfotball). Official date of incorporation of the name is 1st of April 2016 and we got the good news in a registered letter from the Spanish Confederation Saturday the 9th of April.

The sporting director at Mallorca Toppfotball, Leif Tsolis, says the following:

- A milestone in our history at Mallorca is reached and it is a fantastic day for the Academy, the coaches, the managers and not least for all of our upcoming students. The club is named FC Mallorca Toppfotball and is affiliated the Academy to give players international matching, weekly matches and references against good Individual Spanish footballers.

- In international football it becomes more and more important to be good 1 v 1, and in that sense, Spanish oponents are the best you can get. The club is newly startet up and begins in the lower divisions. That said, we have seen some top games in the division we will be playing in, and it keeps Norwegian 3. division level.

- Spain is perhaps the world's best football nation in the past 20 years and has a lot of good players also in the lower divisions. We will also play friendly games against selected Spanish opposition, like we have done with great success the last 15 years. New this year is the Spanish league, which also becomes an exclusive and wonderful experience. A new football culture and a lot to learn.

- In MIC Cup we are going up against some of the world's best clubs and national teams, in at least it is historically the kind of participants. The combination of Spanish league, friendly games and MIC Cup will give the nine months academy regularly and good matching.

Tsolis concludes by specifying the following:

- Yet it is the everyday training with 3 sessions a day, 6 days a week that is the most important. With coaches and players full time through nine months, we are all fully professional in our everyday life, and this wholeness is the x-factor at Mallorca Toppfotball. Exercise, rest, sleep, proper diet and a maximum focus on development and results. It will be fun, a strong cohesion, large development and extreme performance for those coming down and is providing the best every day.
