UAE Precor youngest team to reach Dubai Amateur Football League semi-finals
“UAE Precor has some of the most talented youth players in the region and competitions like these give us the opportunity to develop our young players and expose them to higher levels of competitive football” said Tarek Khalifa, chairman and member of the volunteer coaching team of UAE Precor. “This competition enables the team to gain skills in strategy, tactics and experience as they play against seasoned footballers.”
The team is the only U16 to U18 youth team to play in the first division of the DAFL, one of the most recognised leagues in Dubai with former professional players from all over the world and UAE. The team beat Dubai FC 3-2 to get to the semi-finals.
“Although winning an adult league cup is not among our objectives, it was an excellent platform for the boys towards their future as top athletes and footballers. We’ll continue developing our youth teams and hope to win the cup next year as an additional reward to our efforts and community initiative,” continued Khalifa.
