IFA is the largest independent football coaching program in the UAE. It coaches more children in more places than any other football academy in the region. IFA’s philosophy is ‘Sport for All’, meaning the academy is inclusive rather than exclusive. We are excited to kick off our second decade in the UAE this season with new look, programs and some great new additions to our coaching and support st
aff to ensure the best possible experience for all our players, parents and supporters. We have been working hard to develop the most comprehensive development program on offer in the UAE and are now proud to boast the best coaching programs delivered by the most highly qualified coaching team (UEFA A and B Licence) in the region. Our Dribblers program offers players as young as 18 months a first taste of football fun until they are ready to graduate at 4yrs into our popular Academy system. A brand new specialist ‘TACTIC’ program for 11-14yrs ensures the challenge to improve continues as our players grow, whilst the integration of the prestigious Adastra program for 14-18 year olds provides a highly competitive, professional academy environment for those with ambitions to follow a career in football. The introduction of the new IFA Sport 18-2-18 development pathway ensures the future of the UAE will become better prepared for life through football. IFA currently operates in over 30 locations throughout the UAE with over 1,500 participants attending high quality IFA sessions every week. In addition to our coaching programs IFA also organises top class adult leagues from ages 16yrs – 60yrs. See you on the field soon!
