Indian Super League club, Odisha FC has inked a deal with Staffordshire University as the new Education and Community Partner. The University from the United Kingdom has been active for the last 100 years and is known to make an optimistic difference to careers and industry.
The deal will have Staffordshire University work together with Odisha’s colleges to provide the educational content virtually all over the year.
Odisha FC President, Mr. Raj Athwal said, “Staffordshire University has a strong reputation in the UK for providing a high-quality, industry-focused education to students, who come from all over the UK, and abroad, to study at this award-winning institution.”
Welcoming the new partnership, Staffordshire University Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive Designate, Professor Martin Jones said, “India has always been an important market for us and we have had some excellent students come and study with us over the years. We have hosted elite students through the GREAT scholarship scheme in partnership with the British Council, and the relationship with Odisha FC is another example of how we want to work closely in India with key partners to provide opportunities for students and staff in both organisations.”
Mr. Amarjit Singh, CEO of India Business Group said, “This collaboration is fantastic news for the rapidly expanding UK-India sports and education sectors. As part of IBG’s role in supporting OFC as a strategic partner, we look forward to deepening cross-border ties to help both nations achieve the ambitious goals set out in the India-UK 2030 Roadmap and further strengthen the living bridge between our communities.”
The growing family of the Kalinga Warriors owes it to commercial support. From corporations to local companies, all have been equal in this journey of Odisha FC.
Odisha FC will begin their new ISL season on the 24th of November and will face Bengaluru FC in their opening game.
Ahead of the commencement of the new season, Odisha FC has been on a signing spree as the club has teamed up with A H Allen Steelstock, Brazil’s Avaí Futebol Clube, Muscle & Strength and Richard Winterton Auctioneers.
