FOOTLAB World has selected Santa Ana in Orange County, California, as the location for its first facility in the United States.
The 165,000-square-foot facility will integrate football, advanced sports technology, and entertainment upon its launch.
Owned by international football figures Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) and Rui Costa, alongside 7EGEND, the project is described as the world’s first AI-powered football performance and entertainment franchise. Its development is supported by a partnership with Stake Investors, with plans to become the largest FOOTLAB facility worldwide.
This is FOOTLAB’s fourth venue with facilities also located in Almaty (Kazakhstan), Dubai and Lisbon.
