The 185-acre complex has been in operational use since December 2020, with the Foxes lifting a first-ever FA Cup crown within five months of moving into its magnificent new facility.

The Club's training headquarters in Seagrave is home to seven buildings in total, 21 playing surfaces, including 14 full-size pitches, elite-standard sports science and medical facilities, and customised gym and hydrotherapy areas.

Leicester City first revealed plans for a new training ground in early 2018, two years after winning the Premier League title in one of the biggest stories in the history of professional sport. The project was intended to be part of a legacy for the most successful period in the Club’s history, ensuring the Foxes could realise the dream of their late owner, Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, to be a consistently competitive force in the upper reaches of English football.

Work in Seagrave began in the spring of 2019, transforming the site of the former Park Hill golf course into one of the world’s most advanced sports facilities.

The Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Building is the primary hub of the Seagrave site, named after the Club’s late Chairman and patriarch. An elite-standard training facility was a central feature of Khun Vichai’s vision for the Club, now being realised under the guidance of his son, Khun Top.

The building includes all facilities for the Club’s professional men’s teams, football operations, offices, private accommodation, restaurant and first team recreation. Its balconies overlook the training pitches.

The King Power Centre, meanwhile, is the site’s most prominent structure. Its spectacular dome, built into the landscape, houses an air conditioned, artificial pitch and a media centre including press conference room, broadcast facilities and hospitality space.

A 499-seater show pitch is also available for limited use, including selected FA Youth Cup, PL2 and LCFC Women’s matches, serviced by designated changing facilities and broadcast compound.

The Sports Turf Academy, on the other hand, is a first-of-its-kind facility for the education and development of elite grounds staff and grounds services. The STA will aim to train future generations of grounds professionals for deployment in sporting settings around the world, while creating a research and development hub for innovations in turf management.

Staff enjoy breakfast and lunch at subsidised rates inside the magnificent Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Building restaurant, also using three floors of office and working space. There is naturally ample parking over the 185 acres, while everything from soft furnishings to room decor is of the very highest quality.
