Foundation promotes West Ham Way Down Under with George Cowie Football
The West Ham United Foundation will join forces with George Cowie Football during the Club’s two-match pre-season tour to Perth, Western Australia.
Run by former West Ham player and international coach Cowie, the Scot’s coaching programme boasts an intimate understanding of what it takes to nurture young talent. Having joined the Club as a professional player in 1977, the Scotland youth international witnessed the team’s FA Cup victory in 1980 and was part of the squad that reached the League Cup final a year later.
Cowie’s camps provide a platform for aspiring footballers from Australia to develop their skills and showcase their talent. Notably, the 2023 camps in Perth will conclude a month-long series of delivery, coinciding with West Ham United’s highly anticipated pre-season tour.
