The academy program is run over three 10-week terms per year, with term 3 to run on April 28. Football South Coast's Peoplecare Academy will benefit from Port Kembla junior and Sydney FC striker Gameiro taking on an ambassador role and joining the coaching staff.
Gameiro has been one of Sydney FC's best players this season and is keen to lend his A-League and international experience in a coaching and development role.
Gameiro is an under-20 Socceroo, plus played junior football at English Premier League club Fulham and is keen to share his knowledge.
