If Abu Dhabi is home to the next Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, the chances of discovering them has just improved.
Developing the next generation of footballing talent, City Football Schools have been operating in the UAE for a number of years.
And now the popular football coaching academy has set up at a new location in Abu Dhabi in the hope of unearthing the next superstar of the beautiful game.
City Football Schools are now operating from an additional venue, offering coaching at ACTIVE on Al Maryah Island.
Players aged between three and 18 can sign up for the football programme with sessions available three times a week on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
Including the new location, City Football Schools now operate at three sites including Zayed Sports City and Emirates Palace.
“The addition of a third venue for coaching in Abu Dhabi showcases the continued growth of City Football Schools programmes, and provides more scope for families in the city to be able to access our sessions,” said Simon Hewitt, head of football operations – MENA at City Football Services.
“This is another world-class facility, alongside Zayed Sports City, which Abu Dhabi has provided for aspiring young footballers in the UAE and we are delighted.
“At a time when it’s never been more important for children to stay fit, healthy and active, we can now open our sessions up to more families in Abu Dhabi, providing children with a platform to develop their skills in a safe environment on a weekly basis.”
