MVFC & CFC have signed a mutually beneficial partnership where MVFC Youth will have the esteemed doors of the Chelsea Youth Academy opened to develop them into the stars of the future. Chelsea see Melbourne as a hotspot of potential Chelsea talent.

On the flipside, Chelsea will utilise Melbourne Victory as a club to send their own up-and-coming players on loan as to keep them fit when they are not receiving game time in the English Premier League. Chelsea have agreed in principle to a season-long loan of 20 year old England U21 international right-back Sam Hutchinson as an injury replacement for Matthew Kemp in the 2010/2011 A-League season.

Proof of the agreement has started appearing around Stamford Bridge on game day.
