"MILLS is always ready to be present and support the creation of a more professional, sustainable, and high-standard grassroots youth football development ecosystem, while also becoming the foundation for the birth of future Indonesian football talents," said Mills Sales and Marketing Director Stevendy Tjen, quoted from a written statement.
"I warmly welcome the collaboration with MILLS, which already has an excellent reputation in the Indonesian sports industry, with the hope that it can mutually have a positive impact on STY Academy, and of course Indonesian football," said Shin Tae-yong.
Both Mills and STY are names that are very close to Indonesian football.
