Aberdeen strike KR Reykjavik partnership as Icelandic link steps up youth development drive

Aberdeen aim to further extend their global reach by agreeing a partnership with KR Reykjavik.

The Dons have signed a two-year deal with the Icelandic football's oldest and most successful club in a move which mirrors their current collaboration with Californian side Allstars United. A range of mutual commercial benefits will see both clubs share knowledge, experience, and expertise to help the Icelandic club develop its income streams, facilities, coaching, community outreach and fan engagement.

The Pittodrie club have already sealed a long-term strategic relationship with MLS outfit Atlanta United and will work alongside KR Reykjavik with plans which include hosting their players and coaches at Cormack Park. Aberdeen coaches will also assist with the Urvalsdeild side in hosting an annual Summer Football School in Iceland. It's another partnership agreement for the Reds which has been hailed by their commercial director as a sign of his club's growing stature in youth development.
