UAE football schools offer kids path to pro

City Football Schools and Al Jazira Club Academy have partnered to provide young footballers in the UAE a direct pathway to professional football, starting next season. The collaboration will see City Football Schools coach boys and girls aged six to nine at Al Jazira's Academy, offering a unique opportunity for early-stage development within a professional club structure. Open trials for children born between 2017 and 2019 will be held on June 21st. This initiative aims to nurture talent and potentially lead players to the UAE national team, leveraging City Football Schools' established training methods and Al Jazira's commitment to youth development.
