City Football Schools will deliver coaching for the Al Jazira Club Academy foundation phase for six-to-nine-year-olds
From the start of next season, City Football Schools will deliver coaching for the Al Jazira Club Academy foundation phase for six-to-nine-year-olds.
With more than a decade of coaching in the UAE, built on the philosophy and training programme of the Manchester City Academy, City Football Schools will supply the coaches; all of whom hold a minimum UEFA B qualification, and have undergone Manchester City’s in house coach education.
They will coach and develop Al Jazira’s young players, introducing them to a structured methodology designed to create elite players, one that is used globally across all City Football Group clubs.

This will be combined with the principles of a safe, creative and positive space, with player happiness and welfare at the forefront of the learning environment.
The move further demonstrates the unique and authentic player pathway in the UAE, allowing players who have demonstrated talent and aptitude for the game to flourish in a professional club and work through different age groups, with the ultimate aim of signing a professional first-team contract in the future.
For those behind this historic partnership, this not only offers the opportunity for helping produce the stars of tomorrow for Al Jazira Club, but it will also contribute to the wider development of football in the UAE.
This exciting new partnership will complement the market leading City Football Schools programme that coaches over 2,500 players, both male and female, who train with City coaches on a weekly basis across eight venues in the UAE.
Open trials for young players born in 2017, 18, or 19 will take place on Saturday 21 June at Active Al Maryah Dome, Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi from 9am to 1pm.
