This relocation is designed to provide players and staff with access to state-of-the-art facilities within a high-performance environment.
The club highlighted that the modern infrastructure at SGS Wise Campus will support daily squad development and elevate their professional standards. The move also positions Yeovil Town in a more central and accessible location, broadening their recruitment reach and enabling the club to attract a larger pool of talented players—crucial as they aim to return to the Football League.
