Kate Middleton and Prince William would be throwing open England's stunning new £105m football training center in St George’s Park.

This huge facility is meant to build England’s teams for the future and would allow England teams to train on a pitch with the exact same grass measurements as Wembley.

It would, henceforth, be the training base for all 24 England football teams, male and female, ahead of international fixtures.

This has been reported in news.sky.com of dated 9th of October 2012.

David Sheepshanks, the Chairman of St George's Park, looks upon this as the Oxford and Cambridge of football education.

In order to inspire and motivate the players there are famous sporting quotes of Mohammed Ali, Mo Farah, Ian Thorpe and Sir Clive Woodward painted on the walls of the center.

The facility also boasts of two hotels which provide more than 200 bedrooms - pictures of England greats like Sir Bobby Charlton, Gary Lineker, Jimmy Greaves, Paul Gascoigne and David Beckham adorn the walls of the hotel.
