Announced on Wednesday at the inaugural China International Import Expo (CIIE), the partnership will see the Reds continue to deliver football coaching to school children at the International Academy in Kunming during term-time in a professional environment.
The partnership was announced as part of a special signing ceremony at CIIE, an international trade event hosted by Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Chinese government, to highlight the very best of UK-China sports relations.
Since the programme started earlier this year, hundreds of children from 10 schools across Kunming have gained the opportunity to get active and improve their football skills, developing in the technical, tactical, physical, mental and social aspects of the game through age-specific coaching sessions.
