REVEALED: Is this the future for top teams flying home? Nike unveil custom plane fitted with recuperation centre for stars

Travel and technology company Teague have created an innovative new airplane interior which could revolutionise the way football teams and athletes travel around the world.

Football managers across the globe have often complained about the amount of air miles their players have to clock up during different spells of the season.

There's little doubt that long journeys can hamper the performance of athletes, but Teague, in conjunction with Nike, have developed an idea that they claim will 'preserve peak performance'.

 

The 'Athlete's Plane' is designed to provide pre and post performance necessities which could make air travel an ideal place for injured or tired players to begin their recovery on the way home after the game.

The Teague mode of travel would have been ideal for football players during the recent international break as top European clubs had to watch on as their players travelled thousands of miles to play in friendly matches.

For example, Brazil have played two games in Miami over the past five days meaning the Premier League, La Liga and Bungesliga's Brazilian contingents will have clocked up over 8,000 air miles before attempting to be available for selection in their domestic leagues this weekend.
