A new football academy has entered Dubai and is ready to make a mark. Sporting Dubai opened to talented young footballers in late summer this year. Technical Director, Nicola Carofiglio, explained what Sporting Dubai would like to achieve.
“This project started because we saw the potential of the kids in UAE and the big opportunities they could have in the future to play in first teams. Sporting Dubai is a technical project which is focus on players to make sure they will be able to play in the seniors pro league,” he said.
“The main goal which we are focused on is to grow our players so in three to four years we have the best U18 teams to let them later on play in any pro league.”
The academy trains at GEMS Founders School Al Mizhar on a brand new pitch. Mentoring the young talented players are coaches who are all European EUFA certified, in addition to being former professional footballers with an international background.
