The facility now features a number of full-size pitches, including an exhibition pitch with the same surface and dimensions as the Emirates Stadium.

Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis said: "This is now a spectacular facility which has been built on the shoulders of the people who worked so hard to establish the Arsenal Academy. Our challenge now is to continue to take it forwards and create a pipeline of players who have the attributes to play for our first team."

Burnley FC invested in a £1m capital project to redevelop the corner of the Bob Lord Stand at the Turf Moor stadium in the summer of 2016. Alongside a brand new state-of-the-art club shop, the building also now houses the club’s official charity, Burnley FC in the Community. The 40 seater space, next to the club’s head office, has embedded the community team within the heart of the club and strengthened the close workings between club and community. Neil Hart, Chief Executive Officer of Burnley FC in the Community said: "This purpose-built office space at the stadium has given us an incredible base from which to work as a charity. With the space to house both office and delivery staff, the room is also big enough to accommodate our rapid growth as we continue on our mission to inspire, support and deliver change in our community."
