This season, Manchester United Soccer Schools has attracted over 750 participants from over 60 nationalities, with a large percentage being Middle East nationals and a high number being UAE citizens.

Khalid Al Zarooni, President, Dubai Sports City, said:
"The MUSS programme has grown in popularity every season, and it's great to see more Emirati children getting involved."


Manchester United Soccer Schools provides children with an insight into the development model derived from Manchester United's football philosophy and introduces them to a social code of conduct that incorporates attitude, behaviour, communication, discipline, enthusiasm and fair play, to develop the children to their optimum level both on and off the field.

Each program within the MUSS curriculum will be based around the skills and play of individual Manchester United first team players.

Andrew Dixon, Head Coach, MUSS Dubai, said:
"It is very pleasing to see the progress of participants who have been with us for the last three seasons and it is a great opportunity for the new participants to to make new friends, whilst learning to play ' the United way'."


The season will also host the first ever Dubai skills final with the winners representing UAE at the World Skills Final held in Manchester.

The fourth season of MUSS Dubai will be held at Emirates International School in Jumeirah and is set to be permanently located in Dubai Sports City upon completion of its new facilities within the Dubai Sports City Football Facility in 2009.
