The JMG Academy is an African and Asian sports organization and training company established by French international football player Jean-Marc Guillou.
Overview Guillou had established Académie de Sol Beni in Abidjan in 1994 via a partnership with ASEC Mimosas. JMG Academy was established in 2002 following a disagreement between Guillou and ASEC over control of the academy.
The success of the academy in Abidjan saw JMG expand into other parts of the world.

The company has nine academies throughout the world: Ivory Coast from 1994; Madagascar from 2000; Thailand from 2005; Mali from 2006; Algeria (in partnership with Paradou AC), Egypt, and Vietnam from 2007; Ghana from 2008.
