GAC is helping raise grassroots sports in Sri Lanka, in partnership with the Colombo Kickerz Football Academy. Together, they gave budding footballers the chance to train under the guidance of top Italian coaches by bringing the Juventus Football Training Camp to town.

The five-day event at Colombo Racecourse Ground saw Juventus Head Coach Fabio Cucciniello, and his fellow coaches Miguelangel Della Vecchia and Giovanni Giacomini give young players training tips to improve their skills. It was the 10th time Colombo Kickerz had brought international experts for the annual training camp.

Both on the pitch and behind the scenes, the focus was on skills, tactics and teamwork. GAC’s team in Sri Lanka handled all the logistics for the event, safely delivering footballs, training equipment and shirts.

“We thank GAC – both as our sponsor and our logistics partner – for helping us set the stage for an exciting new era in football development in Sri Lanka,” said Colombo Kickerz Founder and Chairperson Viveca Weerasinghe.

The Camp also provided insights into the professional and time-tested philosophy that has driven Juventus FC to success in competitions such as Series A, the Intercontinental Cup, European Cup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, UEFA Intertoto Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup.

GAC is a champion in its own field, as a leading provider of logistics services in Sri Lanka. Its service portfolio includes Liner/ NVOCC Services, Freight Services (Air/Sea), LCL and Multi-Country Consolidation, Customs Clearance, Project Logistics, Container Re-Work and more.
