The Etihad City Football Academy located in Orangeburg, New York, opened in April 2018 and was the third CFA to be completed by the Group.

The Academy covers 17 acres and features excellent medical, sports science and recovery facilities aimed at driving elite performance. Everything is built around the football pitches and players' functional needs to help them prepare to win.

It is both a training centre and the infrastructural hub of the Club. Under-soil heating allows year-round use of the facility. 

A state-of-the-art analysis system, with cameras in multiple locations, overlooks the main training pitch and is used to record every training session from a bird’s eye view. The data is used by coaches and practitioners to inform tactical preparation for matches and review the effectiveness of training.

Like the other Academies, New York shares knowledge and innovation across the CFG family.
