SK Sports Holding<\/em>, founded by Sports Icons Clarence Seedorf and Khabib Nurmagomedov, announced today the launch of\u00a0Seedorf Khabib Performance Club<\/em>, a football school with a unique\u00a0training methodology that will combine football and mixed martial arts (MMA).<\/p>\n

The agreement means that youngsters around the world will have the possibility to develop their sport and social abilities. SK Sports Holding,\u00a0which is headquartered at DMCC, Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) in Dubai,\u00a0will establish local and regional partnerships to operate the Performance Clubs around the world based on a licensing or joint ventures model, with plans to open 10 locations around the world in the next 5 years.<\/p>\n

SK Sports Holding is set to use DMCC as global partner and Dubai as a launch pad to unlock opportunities for national, regional, and global expansion. The decision to base the company\u2019s headquarters in DMCC was formed through long-term friendships with its Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DMCC, Ahmed Bin Sulayem.<\/p>\n

Khabib and Seedorf met in 2020 and immediately formed a bond, with both men admiring each other, the other\u2019s sport and achievements, while sharing a common desire to give back to society and leave a lasting impact on the lives of young people. The both live and promote a healthy lifestyle, which they want passionately to pass on to the next generation.<\/p>\n

Seedorf is among the greatest footballers of all time. He is the only player in football history to have won the UEFA Champions League with 3 different Clubs (four times), with Ajax, Real Madrid and AC Milan. Since 2001, Seedorf has created and operated football schools and community leagues across the globe including Suriname, USA, and Netherlands among others, and he also acts as advisor for club owners, football federations and football academies.<\/p>\n

Undefeated UFC champion Khabib, a huge football fan himself, has long since been known for his charitable and community work in his native Dagestan and globally \u2013 since retiring from MMA last year this commitment has only grown. Khabib knows what it took to get the best out of his talent and has therefore established a sport talent management company to support athletes in their professional journey and life.<\/p>\n

Clarence Seedorf<\/strong>\u00a0said: \u201cFootball gave me a lot in life, and I\u2019m committed to give back to the community.\u00a0 I\u2019m very happy to partner with Khabib and positively influence the next generation with the knowledge that I\u2019ve gained during the years\u201d.<\/p>\n

Khabib Nurmagomedov<\/strong>\u00a0said: \u201cI have always been a big football fan and admired Clarence not only as a player, but as a man. He has good values and that is very important for me as a Partner. Seedorf Khabib Performance Club will have a very positive impact and will improve football and athletic skills, but above all will create good people which is the most important thing.<\/p>\n
