JMG Academy

1

The JMG Academy is a sports organisation and training company established by French international football player Jean-Marc Guillou.

Overview

Guillou had established Académie de Sol Beni in Abidjan in 1994 via a partnership with ASEC Mimosas. JMG Academy was established in 2002 following a disagreement between Guillou and ASEC over control of the Academy. The success of the academy in Abidjan saw JMG expand into other parts of the world.

Locations

The company has nine academies throughout the world: Ivory Coast from 1994; Madagascar from 2000; Thailand from 2005; Mali from 2006; Algeria (in partnership with Paradou AC), Egypt, and Vietnam from 2007; Ghana from 2008. The projects in Egypt, Thailand and Vietnam have all been assisted by Arsenal.
