The start of the winter training season for Al Furjan Club

Al Furjan Dubai Foundation announced the launch of the winter season of Al Furjan Football Club training, for age groups from 2010 to 2020, sponsored by the Dubai Sports Council and Dubai Municipality.

The training, which was recently launched, will continue until the end of next May, when it will be held in six major parks in Dubai in cooperation with Dubai Municipality, which are: Oud Al Muteena Park, Al Warqa Park (3), Band Al Sheba Rose Garden (4), Al Barsha Lake Park, Al Barsha South Park, and Al Mizhar Park (2).

A press statement stated that the training includes three age groups, as the buds category includes those born in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, while the cubs category includes those born in 2014, 2015, and 2016, while the junior category includes those born in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. Training is held four days a week, which are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

The Furjan Dubai Foundation confirmed that the large demand from families to involve their children in the club’s training reflects their confidence in the societal and sporting role of the Foundation, and its endeavor to provide a stimulating environment within residential neighborhoods that allows children and young people to practice sports within a professional framework that includes all ages, as the number of players who have joined the academy so far has reached 527 players, which reflects the increasing interest of families in community sports and its role in developing the personality of children.

For her part, Director of Furjan Dubai, Alia Al-Shamlan, confirmed that the launch of the winter training season for Al-Furjan Football Club comes within the organization’s vision aimed at enabling young people to practice sports in a safe and integrated environment within their residential areas, noting that this initiative translates the directions of the Emirate of Dubai aimed at enhancing the quality of community life and stimulating physical activity.

In turn, Director of the Community Sports Department at the Dubai Sports Council, Fawzia Faridoun, said: “We at the Dubai Sports Council are proud to sponsor such pioneering initiatives that enhance the participation of young people and children in sports activities within their neighborhoods, as Al Furjan Club represents a living model for providing a safe and stimulating environment for practicing sports, in line with Dubai’s vision of encouraging physical fitness and community activity.”
