Leicester Unveil Stunning New £100m Training Complex With 14 Pitches

Leicester City have unveiled their stunning new £100million training complex, which the players are all set to move into on Thursday.

The club have been working on the new site since spring last year but will finally make the move into the 185-acre site in Seagrave, a village in Leicestershire, which includes 21 training areas, 14 full-size training pitches and a 499-seater pitch for youth team games. 

The complex has been built on the site of a former golf club, but nine of the 18 holes have been retained which the players will be able to test their skills on once club chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha can fly over and complete the first official tee-off.

Moreover, the buildings - of which there are seven in total - which form the heart of the complex have been named after the late owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and his company. 

The administrative and medical hub is called the Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Building, and will hold facilities such as a swimming pool required by both the playing and football operations staff, while there is also room for a restaurant and areas designed for recreational activities.

The complex also includes features such as customised gym and hydrotherapy facilities, while the dome that appears to stand out is has been named the King Power Centre, which holds an indoor artificial pitch and other media facilities.

The club's former Belvoir Drive facility - which was their training ground for nearly 60 years - will now become home to the club's women's team.
