Leicester City Make Historic Move To New Seagrave Training Ground
An exciting new chapter in the history of Leicester City begins this week, as the Football Club prepares to relocate to its brand-new training complex in north Leicestershire.
The First Team squad will take part in their landmark first training session at the new Seagrave site on Christmas Eve, following the completion of a spectacular facility that signifies a significant step forward for the Club under the ownership of King Power International.
Under construction since the spring of 2019, the Leicester City Football Club Training Ground, Seagrave, is the latest in a series of transformational investments made by King Power and the Srivaddhanaprabha family since acquiring Leicester City in 2010. The 180-acre site features:
– 21 playing surfaces, including 14 full-size pitches
– 499-seater, floodlit show pitch
– The Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Building – the site’s primary training, medical, and administrative hub for the First Team and Academy
– Elite-standard sports science and medical facilities
– Customised gym and hydrotherapy facilities
– The King Power Centre – the site’s central point, housing an indoor pitch and media centre
– Sports Turf Academy for the education and development of industry-leading grounds staff
– Private nine-hole golf course
Following the First Team’s transition to the site, Seagrave will become home to the Club’s entire men’s professional and academy football operation in the coming weeks.
The Club is also delighted to announce that its current facility at Belvoir Drive – Leicester City’s training ground for nearly 60 years – will now become home to LCFC Women. The Club’s women’s team, which was acquired by LCFC last August, turned professional this past summer and currently leads the FA Women’s Championship, will move into Belvoir Drive before the turn of the year.
Leicester City first revealed plans for a new training ground in early 2018, two years after winning the Premier League title in one of the biggest stories in the history of professional sport. The project was intended to be part of a legacy for the most successful period in the Club’s history, ensuring the Foxes could realise the dream of their late owner, Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, to be a consistently competitive force in the upper reaches of English football.
Work in Seagrave began in the spring of 2019, transforming the site of the former Park Hill golf course into one of the world’s most advanced sports facilities.
City’s First Team squad will train at Belvoir Drive for the final time on Wednesday, before operations transfer to Seagrave from Christmas Eve. The Foxes, second in the Premier League, host Manchester United at King Power Stadium on Boxing Day.
