The club is encouraging children between the ages of three to sixteen of all abilities to enroll themselves in.

“Over the years, we have enjoyed being a part of the UAE landscape and seeing so many players play in our football programmes. We have developed the most inclusive and comprehensive football programme in the UAE and we can’t wait to kick off our 10th season. Whether your child is 3 years old and starting their football journey, a teenager wanting to play with their friends or a talented young player with a focus on development – we have a programme for them”, said Simon Hewitt, head of MENA Football Operations at City Football Schools.

The facilities have been inspected and revamped in line with the Covid-19 rules and regulations to ensure safe playing amidst all the enjoyment. The school has witnessed 37 UAE nationals trained from their establishment go on to sign for professional clubs and had 24 of the school’s teams compete in the UAE leagues. The level of sportsmanship and competitiveness is expected to be no different this season!
