If your living room has become a football pitch lately, it might be time to take the action outdoors. Football Escapes is back in Dubai this October at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, offering a one-of-a-kind experience for young players (between 5 and 15) will get the chance to train for two hours each day, all led by some of the biggest names in the game.

It’s not just about improving football skills — it’s also about building confidence, learning sportsmanship, and having a blast. Expect your kids to develop their skills with UEFA-licensed coaches alongside football legends. And while your camera roll might be filled with action shots and smiling faces, your kids will also take away important life lessons.
