Show Notes
The Homestead Sports Complex, a 130-acre project anchored by a 112.5-acre ground lease with VSGS Facilities LLC will feature a 10,000-seat multi-sport stadium, a residential youth sports academy with classrooms, dorms, cafeteria, gym, and training facilities, plus community and recreational spaces.
VSGS Facilities is co-founded by i ex-soccer players Darío Sala and Juan Sebastián Verón, former NBA players Manu Ginóbili and Juan Ignacio “Pepe” Sánchez, and former tennis players Juan “Pico” Mónaco and Mariano Zabaleta — co-founded the project with serial tech and sports entrepreneur Emiliano Fernández Balague, founder and former CEO Gastón Remy and Riccardo Silva, the founder of Silva International and Miami FC.
Although smaller than the Nick Bolletieri Tennis Academy, which was the foundation for what is currently the IMG Academy in Brandenton, on Florida's West Coast, this sports academy in Homestead, will be a game changer for the City. These big name athletes are going to help drive sports tourism to the area, requiring supporting services such as hotels, restaurants, and shops.
