Chelsea FC is one of the world's leading clubs defining modern English soccer, and its academy is a global reference in player development, with generations of players brought through to the elite of the game.
Bringing that standard to Brazil is not just a matter of opening a soccer academy with an imported crest. It means translating a methodology built in Europe for a market that already lives and breathes soccer, without losing the essence of the brand.
Chelsea Blues Academy has to deliver in Brazil the same player development the club demands in London: method, technical standards and full brand protection.
For a club of this size, a poorly executed international operation is an expensive mistake. Hence the requirement for a local partner fluent in both sports methodology and the operation of sports academy networks.
Time Forte, in partnership with Ângulo, is the bridge between Chelsea FC and the Brazilian operation of Chelsea Blues Academy. It is the role the company has built over three decades: bringing in a global sports brand and making it work in local reality. That covers licensing structure, staff selection and training, methodology adaptation and constant guardianship of brand standards.
It is the same playbook behind Time Forte's partnerships with the biggest clubs in Brazil and worldwide.

The project in motion
Chelsea Blues Academy is up and running in Brazil: children and teenagers training under Chelsea FC's methodology, wearing the club's blue and following the development standard set in England.
For Time Forte, the project proves a thesis: global soccer brands can win in the Brazilian market when they find a local operator that speaks both languages: the club's and the market's.
