New York City FC proudly names The LandTek Group, Inc. (LandTek) ‘Official Pitch Supplier’ at a groundbreaking event today at the site of the Club’s new, permanent training facility, City Football Academy New York (CFA NY), in Orangeburg, NY. LandTek will play a pivotal role as the Club takes one step closer to opening its first permanent home for NYCFC first team players, coaches and Sporting Department staff.
The announcement extends the Club’s partnership with LandTek, a NY-based specialized contractor in sports facilities, who built the training pitch and have maintained the Club’s temporary training facility at SUNY Purchase for more than two years. Additionally, LandTek supports the pitch testing before each NYCFC home game at Yankee Stadium, the Club’s first home stadium.
LandTek’s work on NYCFC’s CFA NY site in Orangeburg will be the next iteration of the partnership, bringing to life a one-and-a-half regulation-sized grass pitch that will set alongside team offices, space for player rehabilitation and welfare, and other amenities. With 10 years’ experience working with Major League Soccer, LandTek brings experience and quality performance to ensure an elite facility for the NYCFC first team.
Jon Patricof, NYCFC President, said:
“We are excited to extend our partnership with LandTek and begin construction at the soon-to-open CFA NY. LandTek is a leader in the sports facilities industry and has a terrific experience, especially here in New York.
“CFA NY is a milestone for NYCFC and we are confident we have the right partner to help us create a first-class facility and grow our investment in New York.”
John Sulinski, LandTek COO, said:
“We are proud to partner with NYCFC as they continue to enhance soccer and create state-of-the-art sports facilities in New York. Their success in MLS and commitment to develop their club, academy and affiliated youth programs have had a positive impact in the soccer community.
“At LandTek, we are Building Champions from the Ground Up, and are excited to work with NYCFC’s dedicated personnel to create their Orangeburg Facility.”
