To officially announce the partnership, Chef Samuelsson attended a NYCFC first team training session where he discussed tactics with Sporting Director and long-time friend, Claudio Reyna, joined in team drills and played a fun game of soccer tennis with players Anton Tinnerholm, Ben Sweat and Sebastien Ibeagha.
This season, the partnership will see NYCFC and Marcus Samuelsson Group come together on a number of community events.
