(Statement issued by the company (Announcement)<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sports Performance Hub<\/strong> (SPH) has officially begun construction on its 92-acre, world-class sports and education campus. This privately<\/strong> funded $280 million project is set to transform South Dade into a global capital for athletic excellence, academic innovation, and community development, all at no cost to taxpayers. The groundbreaking<\/strong> ceremony<\/strong>, held at the former Homestead Sports Complex, gathered local officials, international sports figures, and civic leaders to mark what many consider a generational investment in the region’s youth and economic future.<\/p>\n

The project is led by a distinguished group of global athletes and entrepreneurs, including soccer legend Juan Sebasti\u00e1n Ver\u00f3n, Dario Sala, and Olympic gold medalist Pepe Sanchez. Co-Founders Gaston Remy, Emiliano Fern\u00e1ndez Balagu\u00e9, Riccardo Silva (majority owner of Miami FC), Nick Sakiewicz (longtime sports executive and real estate developer), NBA star Manu Ginobili, tennis pros Juan \u201cPico\u201d M\u00f3naco and Mariano Zabaleta, and NFL veteran Martin Gramatica.<\/p>\n

A Global Ecosystem for the Next Generation<\/strong>
\nSPH is designed as a scalable model that integrates elite athletics with high-performance education. The campus master plan includes:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Elite Multi-Sport Academies<\/strong>: Specialized training and expert coaching in soccer, tennis, basketball, baseball, and American football.
\n\u2022 World-Class Boarding School<\/strong>: A residential preparatory environment for nearly 600 student-athletes.
\n\u2022 Premier 10,000-Seat Stadium<\/strong>: A modern venue for Miami FC, the Homestead Championship Rodeo, and regional entertainment.
\n\u2022 Hospitality:<\/strong> A five-star sports-themed hotel and amenities.
\n\u2022 Specialized Health Services & Wellness<\/strong>: Advanced sports medicine and surgery center to include physical therapy and rehabilitation.
\n\u2022 Inclusive Public Spaces<\/strong>: Recreation facilities, a children’s park, and community infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project is about more than facilities or investment; it\u2019s about people and possibility. With this privately funded $280 million commitment, we\u2019re creating a place where young athletes can dream bigger, families can see real opportunity close to home, and the Homestead community can thrive alongside them. By bringing together elite multi-sport training, education, and hospitality, we are building an ecosystem that supports the whole athlete and strengthens the local economy for generations to come,\u201d said Nick Sakiewicz, CEO of Sports Performance Hub.<\/p>\n

Strategic Impact & Investment<\/strong>
\nAs the southern gateway to Miami, SPH serves as a strategic link between Latin America, the U.S., and the world. The project is supported by a $280 million investment, excluding approximately $60 million in land value under an 80-year lease with the City of Homestead. Development will occur in two phases: Phase 1 (2025\u20132026) will establish core non-residential academies and training infrastructure. Phase 2 (2026\u20132027) will add the hotel, student housing, and the Miami FC home stadium. SPH also holds a 60% majority stake in Miami FC, the city\u2019s longest-standing professional soccer club, providing a direct pathway for student-athletes to advance to professional levels. During the groundbreaking, Miami FC also announced a landmark partnership with Avianca, establishing the Colombian airline as the team\u2019s main kit sponsor and exclusive carrier.<\/p>\n
