Clubbadge is LSM! Suarez invites Messi to set up a professional club and participate in the Uruguayan League
Luis Suárez announced a plan to set up a professional club on his personal social media and invited Lionel Messi to participate. The club is called Deportivo LSM and the emblem combines the names of Luis Suárez and Messi.
According to media reports, this club must start competing in the fourth League of Uruguay. Suárez and Messi are planning to let the team participate in official competitions in 2025.
Suárez: Today I would like to share something very important with you all – a family project called “LS Sports”. This is a dream of our family that dates from 2018. Now we have made considerable progress. We have more than 3,000 members, as well as infrastructure in the Comprehensive Sports Center and Urban Sports Base, which offers our members a rich variety of activities. The club offers a wide range of options for children and teenagers, and many people have worked hard for it. Without them, this project would not have developed where it is today.
My family and I have a lot of faith in this project, and this dream gradually becomes a reality. We do it not only for ourselves, but also for the people of the entire coastal city. We currently have more than 80 professionals who work with us every day, so that children are helped to learn how to exist with the challenges of growing up. Looking back on the early days, it is difficult not to be filled with emotions. There were wonderful moments, as well as tough.
But today I want to contribute to Uruguayan football – the football I have loved and grew up since my childhood. I want to offer opportunities and tools for teenagers and children to help them grow. That is why we hope that our club can start competing within the Uruguayan Football Association System. This is a very exciting goal for us, and it represents a huge step forward for me and my family. We are firmly convinced in this project. We not only strive to offer sports facilities, but also to serve teenagers from a humanistic perspective, which gives them opportunities that we didn't have when we were young. We will work hard with a calm mindset to convert this long – dreamed – project into a reality and to participate in the competitive world.
So I decided to integrate LS Sports Club into the youth and professional structure of the Uruguayan Football Association. But this dream does not end here. Together with our family, friends and narrow, we have shared many common experiences since childhood and built up a wealth of experience in the TopSechelons of Voetbal. That is why today I am pleased to introduce a friend and partner. We have a lot in common because we started with a similar start. This project is the perfect platform to continue to share our vision on football and to remain faithful to our original ambitions.
So I invited my friend (Messi) to become a member of the professional project of LS Sports Club.
Messi: First of all I want to thank Luis for giving this opportunity to participate in this project. You have worked hard on this project for many years and it has grown considerably. It is a great honor and joy for me to be part of it now. Thank you for chosen me. I hope to do my best to contribute to the continuous development of this project, and especially, to work with you next to you. Thank you very much!
